Came to the city with a bag of dreams
Overpacked and split at the seams
Seems like nothing's really coming true
Even if it did, I still don't have you
I don't really know what these people want
I've seen guys sign without one song
Giving me advice, I just nod along
Leave the building, put Hendrix on

'Cause I know something's gotta give
I know what it is
How long, how long?
How long, how long?
How long, how long?

Got about two people I can trust
Rest of them, they don't know enough, no no
Chi told me that I'm living in my mind
Maybe that's the only home I can find
Lately I've been wondering if you're okay
Remember when you said we'd be friends one day?
I wonder if you know what's happening
Got me thinking 'bout just packing up

'Cause I know something's gotta give
I know what it is
How long, how long?
How long, how long?

How long, how long is it gonna be?
Is it gonna last? Am I gonna see?
Is it gonna be? Is it gonna be?
Am I gonna wait? My head don't wanna see

Bakes, what's happening?
How you doing fella?
It's Courts, what's going on man?
How's the music going, man?
I've been hearing things, I've been hearing things
Don't, don't be too disheartened
Keep going, keep pushing, don't stop
You will get there in the end, my brother
I promise you
