"How I Long" lyrics

"How I Long"

War on me
War on me for you
When I'm feeling free
When I'm feeling blue
There ain't no rest
In this world for me
No escape
I can't see the end

'Cause I feel all alone in this lifetime
Everybody all around me
Says they wanna love it with me
But I don't wanna do it no more
I just wanna die tonight

Tonight
I yearn for you
I yearn for you
I yearn
How I long
I long for you
I long for you
Oh, how I long

With the wind in my eyes
And the stars in my mind
The world on my side
We're all tethered to time
Yet I feel all alone in this lifetime
Everybody all around me says they wanna love it with me
I don't wanna do it no more
I just wanna die tonight

Tonight
I yearn for you
I yearn for you
How I long
I long for you
I long for you
Oh, how I long

All I want is to be with you
All my love and all my days
I'm gonna take my time
I'm gonna take my time
And freedom is a lot
A lot a lot to ask for
Everybody's coming for it
Everybody's calling for it
Light me a lamp while I look for an answer
'Cause you are the only truth that's burning tonight

Here we go!
Come on!
Fire tonight

And all we got is a time
And all we got is a breath
And all we got is a time
And all we got is a breath
And all we got is a time
And all we got is this flesh

Tonight
I yearn for you
Oh, how I long
I long for you
I long for you
How I long
I yearn for you
Oh, how I long
Tonight
I yearn for you
Oh, how I long
As long as long as an echo
I want you to hear me singing your name...
