Think Long Songtext
von Mates of State

On our picture shelves (Get on or get out)
Statues mocking me (Get on or get out)
Tell me how am I supposed to feel? (Get on or get out)
How am I not at ease? (Get on or get out)

Talk yourself to sleep (Get on or get out)
Fall into it deep (Get on or get out)
I will wash off mine with rolling waves of worry (Get on or get out)

Hey, hey, it doesn′t have to feel so wrong
Bethany, you're riding this one to its grave (It doesn′t have to feel so wrong)
You never understood the difference (It doesn't have to feel so wrong)
Between someone's beating and refusal to trade

Bless these tangled veins (Get on or get out)
None of which will grow the same (Get on or get out)
Now am I supposed to fake it? (Get on or get out)
Now are you so poised, at ease? (Get on or get out)

Talk yourself to sleep (Get on or get out)
Fall into it deep (Get on or get out)
I will wash off mine despite no worry (Get on or get out)


Hey, hey, it doesn′t have to feel so wrong
Bethany, you′re riding this one to the gate (It doesn't have to feel so wrong)
You never understood the difference (It doesn′t have to feel so wrong)
Between someone's beating and refusal to trade (It doesn′t have to feel so wrong)

Think long, think think long, think think
Think long, think think long, think think

Can you feel it surround me? (Think long, think think long)
I think it'll drown me, oh (Think think)
Can you feel it surround me? (Think long, think think long)
I think it′ll drown me, oh (Think think)

And I wonder how you could say that we really owe you anything (Think long, think think long, think think)
And I wonder how you could say that you really owe us anything (Think long, think think long, think think)

Think long, think think long, think think
Think long, think think long, think think

And I wonder how you could say that we really owe you anything (Think long, think think long, think think)
And I wonder how you could say that you really owe us anything (Think long, think think long, think think)
Anything, whoo

Think long, think think long, think think
Think long, think think long, think think
Think long, think think long, think think
Think long, think think long, think think
