Sitting on your back porch
you're watching the world
saying Lord where did the time go'
I've been waiting for a chance
to strike out on my own,
a chance for me to let go

It goes on and on and on and on, on and on it goes
Saying how long how long how long how long,
'til we make it to the top, love'

They say it won't take long
you're the fire I'm building on
They say it won't take long
you're the target I'm aiming on

Oh and no one could see this one coming
no one could say how, we would turn out, turn out

Singing my song saying where did it go
all the things we've had for so long'
Yea I'm falling through the cracks
and it's breaking me up
no I can't hold on for too long

And it goes on and on and on and on, on and on it goes
Singing how long how long how long how long
'til we make it to the top, love'

They say it won't take long, you're the fire I'm building on
They say it won't take long, you're the target I'm aiming on

Oh and no one could see this one coming
no one could say how we would turn out, turn out

They say it won't take long
They say it won't take long
You say it won't take long
You're the target I'm aiming on

Oh and no one could see this one coming
no one could say how we would turn out, turn out

Oh and no one could see this one coming
no one could say how we would turn out, turn out
