How long have I been locked away?
I was always running out of reasons to stay
And how long will I be climbing out?
Shuffle down to the bottom before I find out
How long has this been burning out? Out and out
These eyes just need some sweeping out, oh no
I'm finally out the sun and see the valley below
I've still got so much further to go
There's only so much pressure that a man can take
You're sleeping while you're wide awake, yeah, yeah
How long have I been cleaning up?
Till I find that there's nothing left to cover up
How long have I been outta love?
You give it all away till you're empty, you've got none
How long has this been burning out? Out and out
These eyes just need some sweeping out, oh no
I'm finally out the sun and see the valley below
I've still got so much further to go
There's only so much pressure that a man can take
You're sleeping while you're wide awake, yeah, yeah
