Taking Back Sunday – Long Time Comin’ Lyrics

Alternative

There's a symphony up past the trees
Beyond your father's house
The one you grew up in then grew out of
Got yourself to higher ground

You told me you ain't gonna miss it
But you'll never hear it like you heard it then
Like you heard it then

I didn't mean to wake you
Oh I know it's late
These walls are caving in
I didn't mean to wake you
I left a note that read these walls are caving in

Well halfway out of town
Loading your father's father's gun
The one he smuggled back from Germany
After the war was won

You told me he ain't gonna miss it
Better serve its purpose like it did back then
Just like it did back then
Besides he ain't around to miss it
And he'll never hear it like he heard it then
Like he heard it then

I didn't mean to wake you
Oh, I know it's late
These walls are caving in
I didn't mean to wake you
I left a note that read these walls are caving in

Oh oh, these walls are caving in
The walls were caving in
