How Long Lyrics by Malachai

Ugly Side of Love

2009

I’ve worn out my heartstrings
They won’t play no more songs
Maybe I could just hum instead
Would anyone notice it?
If I rolled up my fist, and if I banged a wall
But made it sound like a drum instead
Would anyone notice it, well I’m hoping you did

Come on get up, come on get up (get up)
Don’t leave me standing
Come on get up, come on get up (get up)
Don’t be misled
Come on how long, come on how long
How long have you been sitting?
Come on get up come on get up (get up)
Have you been dead?

I travelled through fog mist
Took a turn that was wrong
Maybe I should’ve stayed in bed
With nothing but sheets to wear
There’s two loaves and five fish
There’s the mountains of god
Seems a long way to go for breakfast
But now that you’ve had your fill
Tell me now how you feel

Come on get up, come on get up (get up)
Don’t leave me standing
Come on get up, come on get up (get up)
Don’t be misled
Come on how long, come on how long
How long have you been sitting?
Come on get up come on get up (get up)
Have you been dead?
