Lyrics Long Time Coming - Balto

Long Time Coming

Been coming for a long, long time
Oh did you say this life could never be
It was never really up to me
Decided by a god I cannot know
And when you poured every little fluid ounce of trust
The overflowing cup was only just
Your cardboard cutout substitute for love
And tragically I’m holding on
But the game is lost and the crowd is gone
I’m losing my mind
I’m losing my mind, oh
Been coming for a long, long time
And in my head a girl is sitting there
She picks a patch of wall and stares
She tells her love, she’s doomed to die alone
But then she’ll rise and straighten crooked spine
And remember love and remember life
She buys a ticket that train will take her home
And I’m standing on the platform here
But all mirages disappear
I’m losing my mind
I’m losing my mind, oh
Been coming for a long, long time
