O.A.R. - King Of The Thing lyrics

Album: Risen (2001)

It has 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 throne to reside & let myself go.
But I have traveled much too far, where I have gone, I will never know.

What a long, long time...
Long, long time.
It has been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin´ in the rain...
Losing my mind.
What a long, long time.
What a long, long time.

My days I have spent relaxin´ turned to nights relaxin´ too
A thousand eyes upon me, but my sights are missing you.
So this time I swear I´ll loosen my grip.
On past times & bad lines & meaningless trips.

What a long, long time.
Long, long time.
It has been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin´ in the rain,
Losing my mind.
What a long, long time.
What a long, long time.

So, over & over mile signs pass by my side
The more you try to find yourself, the more you tend to hide
Behind these - forest trees - & greens that blind your eyes
To lounge upon that throne I bought,
Confer there with the wise.

What a long, long time.
Long, long time.
It has been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin´ in the rain,
Losing my mind.
What a long, long time,
Long time...yea.

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 will stay here alone, & lose myself on the riverways of days.
I am coming home.

What a long, long time.
Long, long time.
It has been a little old while since I felt so fine.
Wanderin´ in the rain,
Losing my mind
What a long, long time.
What a long, long time.
