I'm headed to the crib to take a swim with my sorrows
Just another day a mislabeled gift of tomorrow tends to find its way
Onto my calendar, this monotony has got me pissed off
When my thoughts are paused, noticing who just walked in
"I thought you were gone for good?" - she made her own drink
Cherry Coke, vanilla *** - "You never changed the locks, huh?" (pfff)
"I see you keep your key, sweetie, so don't come with that ***"
We both laughed, clinked our glasses, stumbling backwards
Into the past, catching up as each other's absence fades
Been way too many days since we last went at this (uh)
I knew her as a kid, thirteen when she moved away
Twenty-two when we hooked back up, twenty five when we took a break
Now she comes around once in a while but it never lasts (lasts)
Nevertheless, I still consider her my better half (half)
I always ask if she'll stay for a while
And she just smiles, says "I'm here now, let's make it worthwhile"
It's been a long time - we got a positive vibe, so why not
Pop open a bottle of wine and toast to us
It's been a long time - that body's looking so fine, her proposition's
Got me stopped on a dime, focused on how
It's been a long time - she's got a confidence I cannot deny
No matter how hard I try, I'm overpowered
Been a long time - damn, it's been a long time
Anxiously awaiting - but I'm playing it patient
Place my hand on her waist, exchanging some faces
Pace myself (yeah) - girl I'm aching to take you
Grape vine tells me you've been thinking the same (uh-huh)
On your back, on your feet, on your hands and your knees
On my mattress, a king, in the passenger seat
Just imagine the things I'll be having you see
Grab - grabbing the sheets, ga - gasping for air to breathe
You spill on top of us on the couch
You find my neck with your mouth as I unbutton your blouse
There's just something about those sounds as they surround us
How serene a scene, my Selene, I lean into your body
Got my hands on that fine ***, time passes
Clothes and inhibitions vanish, my finances
Interested in making sure this dime is spent
So first I called it head, then flipped her on the bed
Been a long time - every second is precious as she
Presses up against with her ***, we're so close
Been a long time - getting sense of your senses
Is essential since several sessions going down
It's been a long time - Sweating, wet on the sectional
Exceptional and sensual, our *** stroke
Goes a long time - damn, it goes a long time
Check it
The morning after, the relaxing and laughter is gone (uh)
Back to our standard automatic reactions at dawn (uh)
She tells me "I'm busy this week, but I'll be back soon"
"That's cool, my calendar's packed too, but I'll get at you" (nah)
Now those lies on both sides keep pressure high and clouded
And so I put cold fronts up like I'm fine without it
I used to try so hard to get her to stay, but I see the truth
If I'll ever see her, this is the way, and I need her
Even if it's for the scraps that she does give
I know others who found happiness, but I done quit
Cuz I found mine, but the flame isn't reciprocated
Well, except when it is for a minute, then incinerated
She puts her shoes on and heads for the door
We catch each other's glances once more
She smiles, I smile, she leaves, then I crash to the floor
My sorrow floats back to the surface
Having this passion for happiness hurts
It's been a long time - Another chapter is added
And isn't happy, man, it had to be tragedy, ain't no fable
Been a long time - Can I handle reality?
I'm just practicing, I have to take the whole thing slow
Makes for a long time - Yeah I'm adamant that I been traveling
The path I've been taught, but it hasn't been accurate
In a long time - damn, been such a long time
