[Verse 1]
How far can someone fall before they lose it all
How long until you see I am the criminal
They put a spell on me so I could love you right
It fought the demons back that has me up at night

[Chorus]
How long will heavy devotion cloud my mind
Just tell me how long have you waited every single time
Go on ahead, I think you'd agree
It's real emotion killing me

[Verse 2]
For every crooked line there is a chemical
With every pill I take to try to make me whole
I'm bound to what I've sown, I am the history
I try and drink it down but it's a part of me

[Chorus]
How long will heavy devotion cloud my mind
Just tell me how long have you waited every single time
Go on ahead, I think you'd agree
It's real emotion killing me
How long, how long
Have you been holding on
Have you been holding on and on

[Bridge]
I see a garden and a road
Evergreen and indigo
If you wait I can be there
With miles and miles of flowers planted in a row
Love, I'm nearly halfway home
If you wait I will be there

[Outro]
It's real emotion
It's real emotion
It's real emotion
I need you more than ever now
All my language cast in sound
If you wait I can get there
It's anchored to my racing mind
Maybe you can slow its stride
If you wait I will get there
It's real emotion
It's real emotion killing me
