Would you tell me it's a lost cause?
I ache to sleep
but how the thoughts keep crashing
through a landslide head.
Would you tell me it's a last chance?
Would you tell me let the past stay in the past?
It's been a long time coming
and we're a long time dead.
It's been a long time running
and there's a long way yet.
I'm still puzzle-piecing,
nine months clear.
Jigsaw heart, it's been a long year.
They packed away the box and put me here
but if it makes it easier to leave me,
I'll make it easy.
I know you may never well believe me
and there are reasons for that.
When the mystery is solved
will you be moving on?
I'd rather hoped you'd stick the long run
and we could face what we'd been scared of
but if it makes it easier to leave me,
I'll make it easy.
It's been a long time coming
and we're a long time dead.
It's been a long time running
and there's a long way yet.
