An unprecedented pain got me sending this message to you
Got my claws out now in your name,
I don't know what else that I can do
And I would write a thousand songs if I thought it would help
Oh but I won't spend another night underneath your spell

How long, how long
Should I keep holding on?
Waiting for that ship to come in,
Change in the wind to blow through
I hold out my hands,
Nothing more I can do
Guess I just want everything
Everything, don't you?

Say you got a new girlfriend
Resting there beside you in your bed
Her head lays where mine used to lay
Nestled in the hollow of your chest
But I never meant to end up so competitive
Does she know you told me it'd be my place,
For as long as we live?

How long, how long
Should I keep holding on?
Waiting for that ship to come in,
Change in the wind to blow through
I hold out my hands,
Nothing more I can do
Guess I just want everything
Everything, don't you?

My heart rang out
Like a shot in the night
And it makes that sound
For the rest of my life
My heart rang out
Like a shot in the night
And it makes that sound
For the rest of my life
