(For too long) (Oh-oh) I went on the long way To try to get my head around Are you what you say? 'Cause I don't wanna waste time So take us all the way To places that I've never been I wanna escape all the pain That we've been holding on for too long That we've been holding on for too long That we've been holding on for too long ♪ For too long ♪ I went on the long way So I could try to figure out Is it the things you say That made me feel turned around My heart feels the same Even though we worked it out Are we playing games? 'Cause I don't wanna waste time So take us all the way To places that I've never been I wanna escape all the pain That we've been holding on for too long That we've been holding on for too long That we've been holding on for too long Take us all the way I wanna feel like we're ok I wanna know what I should say But then holding on, for too long That we've been holding on, for too long That we've been holding on, for too long (For too long) So take us all the way To places that I've never been I wanna escape all this pain That we've been holding on for too long Take us all the way To places that I've never been I wanna erase all this strain That we've been holding on for too long
