How Long Does It Take Songtext
von Isaac Levi

Met you at George Street bar
You were 21
A friend of yours introduced us
We were both a little drunk
You said you liked the music here
I said I loved your sundress
Then suddenly it′s closing time
We were the last ones left

It felt like I knew you
Like I'd never lose you
I saw how fast that love takes hold

But how long does it take to let go
Of the only love that I′ve ever known?
How do I get over the sleepless nights?
Tell me why I feel this ache in my bones
How long does it take to let go?


I used to see your eyes light up
Whenever I came home
But then you started looking through me
And I became a ghost

I thought that I knew you
That I'd never lose you
I saw how fast that love takes hold

But how long does it take to let go
Of the only place that ever felt like home?
How do I get over this agony?
Tell me please, my heart's about to explode
How long does it take to let go?
How long does it take to let go?

How long does it take to let go
Of the only love that I′ve ever known?
How do I get over the sleepless nights?
Tell me why I feel this ache in my bones
How long does it take to let go
Of the only place that ever felt like home?
How do I get over this agony?
Tell me please, my heart′s about to explode
How long does it take to let go?
