Lyrics Been Down - Blue October

Been Down

I dreamt you seduced me
Just to walk away
I dreamt you inspired
Then rewired what I say
I dreamt you spread your bottom wings
And pulled me to the bed
But then I woke up feeling nauseous
You danced around my head
So tell me
How long, how long have I been down?
How long, how long have I been down?
How long, how long have I been down?
Down
I dreamt you burned my fingers
An automatic sting
I dreamt you called me beautiful
Then asked to hear me sing
I dreamt you sat, invited me
To crawl within your space
But then I woke up feeling nauseous
Girl, you danced around my face
So tell me
How long, how long have you been down?
How long, how long have you been down?
How long, how long have you been down?
Down, down
Why can’t we work when we both try?
We try, we try, we try
Why can’t we work, we both try?
Why can’t we work when we both try
Try, try, we we we try
I meant to sympathize I meant to be a friend
I know apologizing wont erase the end
But I learn that moving on, is where I must begin
Because when our colors mixed
We couldn’t fix the way they wouldn’t blend
Tell me
How long, how long have we been down?
How long, how long have we been down?
How long, how long have we been down?
Down, down, yeah
And I wish that only greatness follow you around
I hope to God, you find a way to keep from down
When you do I hope you share it all with me
Please try to understand, yeah to understand me
Just try to understand me, yeah understand me
How long, how long have we been down yeah.
Down, down, down, yeah
