[Verse 1]

How far can someone fall before they lose it all

How long until you see I am the criminal

They put a spell on me so I could love you right

You fought the demons back, it has me up at night

[Chorus]

How long will heavy devotion cloud my mind

Just tell me how long have you waited every single time

Go on ahead, I think you'd agree

It's real emotion killing me

[Verse 2]

For every crooked line, there is a chemical

With every pill I take

They try to make me whole

I'm down to what I've sung, behind the history

I try and drink it down but it's a part of me

[Chorus]

How long will heavy devotion cloud my mind

Just tell me how long have you waited every single time

Go on ahead, I think you'd agree

It's real emotion killing me

How long, how long

Have you been holding on

Have you been holding on and on

[Bridge]

I see a garden and a road

Evergreen and indigo

If you wait, I can be there

With miles and miles of flowers planted in a row

Love, I'm nearly halfway home

If you wait, I will be there

[Outro]

It's real emotion

It's real emotion

It's real emotion

I need you more than ever now

All my language cast in sound

If you wait, I can get there

It's anchored to my racing mind

Maybe you can slow its stride

If you wait I will get there

It's real emotion

It's real emotion killing me
