How Long Is Too Long Lyrics
You keep hanging on for more
Building walls around the words around the world
I keep tripping over hints
I keep spilling every secret
Without spilling any secrets at all
Don't you know?
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
Did the issue go this far?
Did you set this higher standard for yourself?
I know it's not a fault
Though I really have to wonder
If you'd ever set the standard without help
Don't you know?
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
Made up
You win
I'm lost
Give in
To each
Their own
With all their sins
You keep hanging on for more
Building walls around the words around the world
Don't you know?
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
This small town takes every ounce to build its smoke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
Building walls around the words around the world
I keep tripping over hints
I keep spilling every secret
Without spilling any secrets at all
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
Did you set this higher standard for yourself?
I know it's not a fault
Though I really have to wonder
If you'd ever set the standard without help
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?
You win
I'm lost
Give in
To each
Their own
With all their sins
Building walls around the words around the world
Of course you don't
Of course you don't
The words might choke
This small town takes every ounce to build its smoke
How long is too long when you're waiting by the phone?

I think song has something to do, at least in part, with an argument. Two people are refusing to call each other to resolve the problem.... He's approaching the situation with common-sense saying, ok we've waited long enough... He asks her "how long is too long", but she doesn't answer because "the words might show" just how petty she really is. I think the first verse might have something to do with him not wanting to show how he really feels about the argument, but his words and actions give him away.
