Know a Lyric (pt 1): "Such a Long Time"

Such a Long Time © 2002 Gregory M. Smith (1.1/4)

I look up at the dark hazy sky and I know it will soon be blue.
And, the spring that's in the air tonight turns my mind to something new.

No more cold winter blues.
I wanna run in the street with no shoes.

CHORUS
'Cause it's been building up inside of me for such a long time!
'Cause it's been building up inside of me for such a long time!

It feels, oh, like it's been years since I felt the touch of a girl.
And, that's what I wanna feel tonight. One kiss and I'm in another world.

I only want you to stay.
Don't leave! Believe when I say,

CHORUS
That it's been building up inside of me for such a long time!
Yeah, it's been building up inside of me for such a long time!

I won't risk it all and take my time. Can't let your love get away from me.
'Cause I've got a spirit that needs to fly and I need your body to set it free.

Give me a chance. Let it fly!
Love me and don't let it die.

CHORUS
'Cause it's been building up inside of me for such a long time!
Yeah, it's been building up inside of me for such a long time!

Know a Lyric (pt 2): "Apart"

Apart © 2009 Gregory M. Smith (1.2/4)

Do you know how it feels to be apart?
Sittin' wonderin' if your baby's thinking about you?
How's my better half living?
I hope she's having fun...

But, not too much fun. Oh, no.
'Cause I'm not having fun.
And, I just want to say to her,

CHORUS
"Girl, you and I weren't meant to have our world torn apart.
And, even though it doesn't feel the same as it did at the start,
You know I believe in you and in you and me.
You and I were never meant to be apart.

SOLO 1

Does this jealousy ever drive you mad?
Do you ever get scared? Maybe she doesn't love you?
Is this the story-line's ending?
Have I seen this one before?

Don't want to wanna watch anymore. Oh, no.
'Cause it don't look like fun.
And, I still want to say to her,

CHORUS

SOLO 2

BREAKDOWN
You and I weren't meant to have our world torn apart.
And, even though it doesn't feel the same as it did at the start...

CHORUS X 2

Know a Lyric (pt 4): "Give Me a Reason"

Give Me a Reason © 2009 Gregory M. Smith (1.4/4)

Hold on to what you've got.
Your future doesn't lie with hers.
Don't give in. Please! Won't you just hold on?
You know where you've got to go.

Give me a reason.
One that's airtight.
A justification for why I should hold you for one more night.
And, tell me slowly
So I'll understand,
So that in a little while I'll be eating from the palm of your hand.

CHORUS
You're gonna give me a reason, baby,
Why I should stay till the morning light.
And, I can't think of a reason to say, "Goodnight."

Can you find a solution?
One that makes sense?
At this stage of the game, I'm not about leaving things up to chance.
You're a pretty girl.
One with sweet kisses, too.
I guess we just get along too well and I've got other things that I need to do.

CHORUS x 2

ORGAN SOLO

BREAKDOWN
Sometimes, I think that I love you,
But I just can't be sure.
I tell you, I'll end this all right now if you just change the locks on your door.

CHORUS x 2
You're gonna give me! How, you're gonna give me!
