ROBERT DELONG LYRICS
album: "In The Cards" (2015)
In The Cards
The knight of swords your card
When waking up is hard
Soon you'll always be
Waking up with me
The star of versed this placed
The towers next in space
The ancients said this last
Only till its passed
And when the feelings gone
Where do we belong
Are we in the cards or free
There are no differences to me
And when you see yourself
Inside of someone else
Is that wrong or right to see
There are no differences to me
Did you feel it
Did you feel it in your ears
The fool was laid down last
But the risk you took has passed
The futures open wide
Where were goings undecided
When the feelings gone
Where do we belong
Are we in the cards or free
There are no differences to me
And when the feelings gone
Where do we belong
Are we in the cards or free
There are no differences to me
And when you see yourself
Inside of someone else
Is that wrong or right to see
There are no differences to me

Long Way Down
I've been fucking around while you've been saving the world
I've been out of my mind
I've been dreaming things and scheming things
I've been smoking the poison
You've been slinging your anecdotes
I've been fucking around while you were saving the world
From nothing
The end, the end
Things will never go our way
In the end, the end
Things will never go
So take it in, don't hold your breath
The bottom's all I found
We can't get higher than we get
On the long way down
On the long way down
On the long way down
Burning night in my eyes, blinding me from the truth
If there's a shadow in me
The dark is a tidal wave inside of you
Taking shots at communion
Getting drunk on your antidote
I'll save you a seat next to me down below
The end, the end
Everyone will go away
In the end, the end
Everything will go
So take it in, don't hold your breath
The bottom's all I found
We can't get higher than we get
On the long way down
On the long way down
On the long way down
Oh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh [x4]
On the long way down
On the long way down, down, down
So take it in, don't hold your breath
The bottom's all I found
We can't get higher than we get
On the long way down
On the long way down
On the long way down
So take it in, don't hold your breath
The bottom's all I found
We can't get higher than we get
On the long way down
On the long way down
On the long way down

Jealousy
Twist your tiny lies into the truth
Spinning a web with your fantasies
Turn your doubtful eyes back onto you
You’re pushing me out with your jealousy
You’re pushing me out with your jealousy
In the corner I saw you with that fateful face
Heard you preaching the gospel that you helped to shape
Wedging it all together, making the pieces fit
But I don’t buy a piece of it
Selling your speculation, admitting you’re counterfeit
You got me I must admit
Twist your tiny lies into the truth
Spinning a web with your fantasies
Turn your doubtful eyes back onto you
You’re pushing me out with your jealousy
You’re pushing me out with your jealousy
In the future I’ll see you coming from afar
You’ll get closer and I’ll forget just what you are
Wedging it all together, make the pieces fit
And I’ll buy every piece of it
Sell your speculation, admit you’re counterfeit
You got me I must admit
Twist your tiny lies into the truth
Spinning a web with your fantasies
Turn your doubtful eyes back onto you
You’re pushing me out with your jealousy
You’re pushing me out with your jealousy
I’ve had [?] of what you’ve been telling me
You’re pushing me out
You’re pushing me out
You’re pushing me out with your jealousy
Twist your tiny lies into the truth
Spinning a web with your fantasies
Turn your doubtful eyes back onto you
You’re pushing me out with your jealousy
Twist your tiny lies into the truth
Spinning a web with your fantasies
Turn your doubtful eyes back onto you
You’re pushing me out with your jealousy

Don't Wait Up
Waiting on the phone to ring and wake us up again
Lost inside a dream with halls that never seem to end
Falling from the ceiling, I keep crawling on the floor
Can't avoid the feeling this has happened all before
I stumble out of my home
I'm looking out every now and then
If I'm leaving my home
I don't know when I'll be back again
So don’t you wait up for me, I'm leaving with the light
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
Trying to pull ahead, I'm always chasing time
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
I've got a restless mind
Waiting for the phone to ring and shake me up again
Pull me out from underneath the state that I've been in
Searching for a reason, I've been looking for the door
Nothings gonna keep me here just waiting anymore
I stumble out of my home
I'm looking out every now and then
If I'm leaving my home
I don't know when I'll be back again
So don’t you wait up for me, I'm leaving with the light
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
Trying to pull ahead, I'm always chasing time
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
I've got a restless mind
So don't you wait up for me, I'm leaving with the light
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
Trying to pull ahead, I'm always chasing time
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
Don't you wait up for me, I'm leaving with the light
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
Trying to pull ahead, I'm always chasing time
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
Don't you wait up for me, I'm leaving with the light
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
Trying to pull ahead, I'm always chasing time
Don’t wait up for me, I've got a restless mind
I've got a restless mind
I've got a restless mind

Acid Rain
Wanted it to
Feel the same way
As the first time
As the first time
But the feeling
Slipped away
To red green blue
And then I saw you
In the airport
It's the same thing
As the first time
As the first time
I watched the tiles
Slip away
Into the restroom
Then I saw you
Wanted you to
Glimpse the same things
That my eyes saw
That my mind saw
But the vision
Slipped away
Into nothing
[Chorus:]
Ran down my brain stem
And out my fingers
I felt the cold air
And touched your black hair
The rush of colors
Acid rain
The colors screened you
And then I saw through
The colors screened you
And then I saw through
The colors screened you
And then I saw through
Follow the signs
Through the desert
Through the desert
To the other side
One cycle later
I met my savior
In the arches
In the forest
Is it trees or twilight?
Can't ascertain
I was in the taproom
And then I saw you
Then I was running
Pushing air in my lungs
Feeling the light
Bounce off the moon from the sun
And slip into nothing
Into nothing
[Chorus x2]
Feel it slip away
Slip away, slip away
Slip away, slip away
[x8]
[Chorus x2]
Feel it slip away
Slip away, slip away
Slip away, slip away
[x4]

Future's Right Here
You keep preaching that the stars will fall
And end it all, and end it all
You keep waiting for the sun to fade
The sky to gray and call your name
Who you gonna be when you're faced with your disaster?
What you gonna say when you wake the morning after?
Try to be a king in a game you'll never master
Making up an end won't make the end come faster
Let me know
When your war is finally over
We've been waiting all year
Get up and go
Don't you worry 'bout the future
'Cause the future's right here
Don't wait until it's over
(Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh)
Don't wait until it's over
(Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh)
Don't wait until it's over
You keep looking for the light to change
Everyday you wait in vain
Keep retreating from the road ahead
You tell yourself there'll be nothing left
Who you gonna be when you're faced with your disaster?
What you gonna say when you wake the morning after?
Try to be a king in a game you'll never master
Making up an end won't make the end come faster
Let me know
When your war is finally over
We've been waiting all year
Get up and go
Don't you worry 'bout the future
'Cause the future's right here
Don't wait until it's over
(Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh)
Don't wait until it's over
(Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh)
Don't wait until it's over
(Future)
Let me know
When your war is finally over
We've been waiting all year
Get up and go
Don't you worry bout' the future
'Cause the future's right here
Let me know
When your war is finally over
We've been waiting all year
Get up and go
Don't you worry 'bout the future
'Cause the future's right here
Don't wait until it's over
(Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh)
Don't wait until it's over
(Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh Oh)
Don't wait until it's over
(Future)
