Lyrics So Long - Jenny Owen Youngs

So Long

So the house is wired from floor to attic
You can’t get in or out
And your first response is automatic
But no one hears you shout
Hoping against a hope that’s rail thin
All that you know for now, you’ll be waiting
So long
So you walk the path through the sea of sleepers
And keep your eyes ahead
Cause you know that light is finders keepers
But what you found instead
Is no one was made for this, to be lonely
Keep it against your chest, this is only
So long
No one can put you back how you were then
Chemicals must react, it’s a certain
So long
