How Long Until We Get There by Alli Rogers
How Long Until We Get There lyrics
you walk up to the stoplight
don�t notice me watching you from my car
and I don�t know how, I don�t know why
but I know who you are
hands deep in your pockets
head down like a child reciting grace
and I don�t know where, I don�t know when
but I�ve seen your face
we�ve never shared it but we feel we have
we�ve never heard it but it�s in the air
we worry deeply so we try to laugh
how long until we get there?
ship lost on a prairie
somewhere on a former ocean swell
wood dark as the night
but colors are bright and clear as a bell
I�m not always like this
I can�t always find something this good
in places I go, on corners I know
in my own neighborhood
every day and every night
and everything I ever had right
was never enough, never quite there
we never quite reached it
we never shared it�
