it’s been a while

[Verse 1] I kept all my limbs crossed Talking to a god I don't believe in But it's worth the shot if he's listening You've been gone a lot And I got good at playing Twister Oh, my hands are getting blistered [Pre-Chorus] But I don't know how to say it And you don't want to talk about it I know we're gonna dance around it [Chorus] Till I'm walking down the aisle And you're sat there like I'm stumbling up to trial Oh, you're watching, burning holes into the back of my skull I'll shrink down like a child As you say, "It's been a while It's been a while" [Verse 2] Boxed you up in my head Like an old friend sitting in the corner Sipping, small talk, how's your brother? But you know, you know my skin too well My bones, the things I couldn't tell To dress up likе acquaintances Oh, Lord knows it's too late for this [Chorus] 'Cause I'm walking down thе aisle And you're sat there like l'm stumbling up to trial Oh, you're watching, burning holes into the back of my skull I'll shrink down like a child As you say, "It's been a while It's been a while" [Post-Chorus] It's been a while It's been a while It's been a while It's been a while It's been a while It's been a while It's been a while It's been a while It's been a while It's been a while [Outro] And oh, I know in the back of my skull I'll shrink down like a child As you say, "It's been a while It's been a while"
