Too Long

from Crossroads EP by The Shrugs

/

lyrics

So we're heading out tonight, we'll have a coupla drinks
Another pull of Dutch courage to step over the brink
I'm sick of waking up each day and putting on this act
Taking one step forward then I'm taking two steps back

I've been waiting far too long

[Chorus]
It's that smile on your face, it's that look in your eye
It pulls me in and makes me spin and lose hold of my mind
Should I put up a flare? Do I ask do I dare?
But I've waiting far too long for this

See the flashing midnight show, the dance floor's come alight
I can't help but edge away, hiding out of sight
Everybody tells me that tonight should be the night
Rather than just stop and stare, and watch life pass me by

Someone's pushed me forward now, to the middle of the floor
The center of the hurricane now I'm looking for the door
But someone grabs my arm and turns me,
my heart's just skipped a beat
Suddenly I'm dancing with the girl of my dreams

So we're heading out tonight, we'll have a coupla drinks
Another pull of Dutch courage to step over the brink
But this is more than alcohol, I know just what I hear
Hand in hand she pulls me close and whispers in my ear

"I've been waiting far too long..."
