O.A.R. - King Of The Thing текст песни

its been a long long time, since i lost myself
put my pride down on the table, put my fear on the shelf
so i bought myself a thrown to reside and let myself go

but ive travelled much too far, where ive gone i'll never know

(chorus)
what a long, long time
long, long time
It's been a little old while since i felt so fine
wanderin' in the rain
losing my mind
what a long, long time x2

my days i've spent relaxing turned to nights relaxin' too
a thousand eyes upon me, but my sights are missing you
so this time i swear i will loosen my grip
on past times, and bad lines, and meaningless trips.

chorus

so, over and over mile signs pass by my side
the more you try to find yourself the more you tend to hide
behind these forest trees and greens that blind your eyes
to lounge upon that thrown i bought,
confer there with the wise

chorus

so here we appear, the rest lost themselves in a pit of fear
for who? what can i do? but let them all come through the wall
and though some oppose many of these things i know
i'll stay here alone, and lose myself on the riverways of days
i'm coming home.

chorus
