How Long
Melissa floats on her back
Exhales into that marble sky
3 Months of cops and blacktops
Turn to air with every sigh
We're spittin pits into the grass now
How long can a sweetness last now
How long til this is the past we can't believe we're lookin back on?
Someone screams "a watersnake!"
It's slicin the skin of the lake
With many others in its wake
How many were there?
I can't say
We strip our suits off for the day
How long can a sweetness stay
How long til we look back and say
We can't believe we lived that way
The storm corralls us to our cars
Like a wet jaw snappin herdin dog
With a crack the lightning starts
And bits of hail bounce off the tar
We're drivin cringin with every pelt
How long til a sweetness melts
How long til there rings a bell
How long til there rings a bell
How long til there rings a bell
That signals us
Return from hell
Exhales into that marble sky
3 Months of cops and blacktops
Turn to air with every sigh
We're spittin pits into the grass now
How long can a sweetness last now
How long til this is the past we can't believe we're lookin back on?
Someone screams "a watersnake!"
It's slicin the skin of the lake
With many others in its wake
How many were there?
I can't say
We strip our suits off for the day
How long can a sweetness stay
How long til we look back and say
We can't believe we lived that way
The storm corralls us to our cars
Like a wet jaw snappin herdin dog
With a crack the lightning starts
And bits of hail bounce off the tar
We're drivin cringin with every pelt
How long til a sweetness melts
How long til there rings a bell
How long til there rings a bell
How long til there rings a bell
That signals us
Return from hell
