Another Long One Lyrics

If losing sleep were any indication
Of the loving that I've missed
I would wrap myself around you
But how likely can that be when I feel like this

And if life were not unfortunate
And reason blew like summer through the trees
I would stop to let you catch me
But I think that you would find me on my knees

And it's gonna be another long one tonight
It's just me and my well intentioned spite
I said, "Someone did this to me
But no one did, there's no injustices

I just can't afford to be right no more
I bought myself another bad dream tonight
With these little boys in my head sleeping tight
It's gonna be another long one tonight"

And there is comfort in a memory
And in roses just before you cut them down
There is danger in most everything
That's all the better when it's not around

And the last time I had the sense to notice
You were right here being kind
But if I think that you are with me
Then I know that you can always change your mind

And it's gonna be another long one tonight
It's just me and my well intentioned spite
I said, "Someone did this to me
But no one did, there's no injustices

I just can't afford to be right no more
I bought myself another bad dream tonight
With these little boys in my head sleeping tight
It's gonna be another long one tonight"

Well it's gonna be another long one tonight
It's just me and my well intentioned spite
I said, "Someone did this to me
But no one did, there's no injustices

I just can't afford to be right no more
I bought myself another bad dream tonight
With these little boys in my head sleeping tight
It's gonna be another long one, it's gonna be another long one
It's gonna be another long one tonight"
