Lydia long-ago

how long can this go on?
sometimes it seems not very long.
how much can we take?
sometimes i sigh and it sounds fake.
but just one drop of you, and I can't recall the drought
every day with you is worth at least 2 months without.
and I would walk five hundred miles
somebody stop me, somebody stop me,
i'm serious this time.

how wrong could i have been?
open up your heart and let me in.
how great can one girl be?
come put my shoes on, and maybe you'll see.
I want to see you and the freckles on your nose
I want the sight of you dressed in your summer clothes.
and I would cross the seven seas consecutively
somebody stop me, somebody stop me.
i been too far for too long.
i've had too much of this one sad song.
i been too far for too long.
put me on that bike and point me towards you
and lydia i'm gone.

how much can our love take?
how much longer til we break?
how many miles times how many days to get through?
i can't count that high, and neither can you.
but just one look at you and I know that I don't care
I've got a future with you, and I'll race you there.
and I would walk five hundred miles
no! I would run.
please don't make me eat these words,
please, please, please.
i been too far for too long.
i've had too much of this one sad song.
i been too far for too long.
put me in a subaru and lydia
lydia, lydia, lydia,
lydia i'm gone.
