Why Does It Take So Long

from Plunge by sam evian

lyrics

How does it take so long
To get on by?
Saying it over and over,
Swept with the tide.

On the street like a lonely dog,
Kept from the table,
Hold no quarter,
No big sky, no fine tables.

And tell me why,
Why does it take so long to feel?
Tell me why.

Stuck in a parking lot,
Where’s your motor?
Seems like all you’ve got
Is what you left beside her.

And everything you need
Is out of reach,
So take the slow and lonely river
To the sea.

And tell me why,
Why does it take so long to feel?
Tell me why.

Holding on, never gone.
I’m just standing beside you,
And it’s not right
To hold it oh so long.

Years ago, never know
What the world did to ride you,
And it’s not right
To let you sink so low.
It’s not right,

Let it go.

Tell me why,
Why does it take so long to feel?
Tell me why.
