It's Been So Very Long

I'm gonna leave this place
I swear this time I'm running home
I know this place too well
That promises I'll be alone

Somewhere between here and there
And back and forth I'll come around
It's what I want to tell you

It's been so very long since I've been man
Enough to be the kind of man
If I'm gonna hold your hand

I was reminded of the lack of who I am
I swallowed hard
And in the night I took a firefly
For a shooting star

I watched the sun come up and burn away
This feeling over me
It'll be okay, you'll see
