Tore it up and walked away Why'd you wanna go do that for? Threw your Lego in the lake Why'd you wanna go do that for? And your a long time coming A long time coming home. Do you see me reeling Off the lines I've seen your I've seen your eyes. How can you grow old you were my triumph How can you grow old you were my triumph Turn your face into the squall. Why'd you wanna go do that for? You carved your name into the wall Why'd you wanna go do that for? And your a long time coming A long time coming home. Do you see me reeling Off the lines I've seen your I've seen your eyes. How can you grow old you were my triumph How can you grow old you were my triumph But your a long time coming A long time coming home. Do you see me reeling Off the lines I've seen your I've seen your eyes. How can you grow old you were my triumph How can you grow old you were my triumph But your a long time coming A long time coming home. Been a long time coming
