Andy Shauf - How Long lyrics

There's a telephone smile and
It's begging me so to pack all my things and
Make this long journey home
There's a dark icy road and
There's a man on TV
And he's talking so fast about the
Reasons why I can't leave

There's a bottle of beer on
A bus driver's mind
There's a time and a place
And he's eager to find
There's a waitress' birthday on
The second of June
And it's taking forever for
Her to turn twenty-two

There's a saying in my mind
I've heard it before
They're the kind of words that
You start to ignore
It's less of a truth than a question of time
That good things come to those who wait
So how long will I wait?
Oh how long will I wait?
Oh how long will I wait?
How long will I wait?
