These are the longest days i've ever known Groan out of my bed, look at my watch too soon Too much daylight leads to a nightlife and the fear of another day That's going to last four or five years Now i know how it all shakes Do you feel that way too? Now i know how it all breaks Are you feeling that way too? Saw the sorrow in your eyes and wanted in Saw your whole world turning around And the mess we got ourselves in It's taken that time will tell, well it's taken it's toll on me Still i know the hand of love isn't just the hand of mercy There's a gap you can't ignore when your heart's so far away The aching and the stretching out on the rack of another day Well hope was the worst thing i could get from anyone So take these days away and bring me the shortest ones
