Lyrics


The Longest Night

How long? How long?
How long will I have to hold my breath for you?

Are those whispers in the shadows or the rustling leaves?
There are worse things than ghosts you know haunting these streets
The bottle of Tequila and the anger you’ve got on
Are only going to keep you warm so long

There’s a message on your answer-phone,
There’s a message on your phone and it says

How long, how long
How long will I have to hold my breath for you?

We traded accusations and casual abuse
We fed each other lies then we started on the truth
Until there was nothing left to say

There’s a message on your answer-phone,
There’s a message on your phone

I can’t sit still, my palms are wet, my mouth is dry
Expecting sirens and the flash of red-blue lights
I’m scared that this is going to be the longest night

How long will this go on? How long can this go on?

I can’t sit still, my palms are wet, my mouth is dry
Expecting sirens and the flash of red-blue lights
I’m scared that this is going to be the longest night

There’s a message on your answerphone,
There’s a message on your phone
There’s a message on your answerphone,
There’s a message on your phone
