The winds getting colder you better stay in, you know what's good for you hunker down a little lower why you looking' over there? There's nothing there for you. but you take it on the chin because that's what you do. you love it oh you love it oh you love the abuse you take it all the time, yeah you take it all the time The rates are getting higher You better pay up, you know what's good for you And the days are getting harder You better step up, what the hell's wrong with you? Just take it on the chin because that's what you do Say you love it, oh you love it, oh you love the abuse Hell, you take it all the time, you take it all the time The wind will blow your mind If you step outside The wind will blow your mind If you step outside the line You've heard tell of something golden A happy little place out on the country side But for now you're still beholden Nevermind to whom, it's not for you to decide And you take it on the chin because hey that's life You take it on the chin and go along for the ride The wind will blow your mind If you step outside The wind will blow your mind if you step outside the line

I put myself out on a limb all the time I'll navigate winds and branches and manage just fine I had an idea I could build us a skyward home I had an idea we could make this limb our own If you come out here with me the weight might bring us to the ground But I'd rather fall for you than stay up here wafting around. I put myself on a limb all the time Watch the wind blow away all the things that I think are mine I had an idea we could tie each other down I had an idea that for once we could feel real safe and sound Chorus It's a long way down but a short way up from here and you can't see the view but to me it's crystal clear You build the nest and I promise to show you the sights We can navigate winds and branches and we can be alright I put myself out on a limb all the time I've been hoping a bird like you might just stop by I had an idea that you’d like what I’ve done with the place I had an idea you might have an idea to stay Sure, if you come out here with me the weight might bring us to the ground But I'd rather fall for you than stay up here wafting around

While you were sleeping I laid awake in my bed The memories I've been keeping relived, indulged and fed It's been too long 've been wanting you too long You've been haunting me too long But I'll stay cool But I'll stay cool But I'll stay cool But I want you While I'm exploring the paths you used to tread My body's resenting hands traveling in your stead It's been too long Chorus While you were sleeping did you dream of me at all Did I come to you sweetly? Did you say it's been too long? It's been too long
