Real Long Time

I wrote the letter in blood red ink to paint the picture
 I was trying to get done with the deep
 You get what you give and you give nothing less
 So I rode to the city, I'm waiting on the bus to come and take us
 So I guess it doesn't matter how you take it
 Take it, yeah
 Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
 But not forever
 Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
 Well, I was sitting on a park bench out in the heat
 Couldn't get myself to even look away from my feet
 Thinking the story's complete
 To get two heads, we'll rock to autumn
 Get two eyes, both dark and gleaming
 Here's the thing, I think the whole time I was dreaming
 Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
 But not forever
 Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
 Take it in your stride, take it in your stride, you don't have to cry
 Take it in your stride and you won't have to hide away
 Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
 I still think we're all okay
 How come what you want and what you get
 Always seem to be two different things?
 Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
 Not forever
 Wait a real long time, real long time, real long time
