Blue October - Been Down

I dreamt you seduced me
 Just to walk away
 I dreamt you inspired
 Then rewired what I say
 I dreamt you spread your bottom wings
 And pulled me to the bed
 But then I woke up feeling nauseous
 You danced around my head

[Chorus:]
 So tell me
 How long, how long have I been down?
 How long, how long have I been down?
 How long, how long have I been down?
 Down

 I dreamt you burned my fingers
 An automatic sting
 I dreamt you called me beautiful
 Then asked to hear me sing
 I dreamt you sat, invited me
 To crawl within your space
 But then I woke up feeling nauseous
 Girl, you danced around my face

[Chorus:]
 So tell me
 How long, how long have you been down?
 How long, how long have you been down?
 How long, how long have you been down?
 Down, down

 Why can't we work when we both try?
 We try, we try, we try
 Why can't we work, we both try?
 Why can't we work when we both try
 Try, try, we we we try

 I meant to sympathize I meant to be a friend
 I know apologizing wont erase the end
 But I learn that moving on, is where I must begin
 Because when our colors mixed
 We couldn't fix the way they wouldn't blend

[Chorus:]
 Tell me
 How long, how long have we been down?
 How long, how long have we been down?
 How long, how long have we been down?
 Down, down, yeah

 And I wish that only greatness follow you around
 I hope to God, you find a way to keep from down
 When you do I hope you share it all with me
 Please try to understand, yeah to understand me
 Just try to understand me, yeah understand me

 How long, how long have we been down yeah.
 Down, down, down, yeah
