How Long Does It Take Lyrics by Isaac Levi
I met you at a George Street bar, you were 21
A friend of yours introduced us
We were both a little drunk
You said you liked the music here
I said I loved your sundress
And suddenly it’s closing time
We were the last ones left
It felt like I knew you
Like I’d never lose you
I saw how fast that love takes hold
But how long does it take to let go
Of the only love that I’ve ever known
Or how do I get over the sleepless nights
Tell me why I feel this ache in my bones
How long does it take to let go
I used to see your eyes light up
Whenever I came home
Then you started looking through me
I became a ghost
I thought that I knew you
I never lose you
I saw how fast that love takes hold
But how long does it take to let go?
Of the only place that ever felt like home
How do I get over this agony?
Tell me please, my heart’s about to explode
How long does it take to let go?
How long does it take to let go?
How long does it take to let go?
Of the only love that I’ve ever known
How do I get over the sleepless nights
Tell me why I feel this ache in my bones
How long does it take to let go
Or the only place it ever felt like home
How do I get over this agony?
Tell me please, my heart’s about to explode
How long does it take to let go?
