Long Time Comin' Lyrics
There’s a symphony out past the trees beyond your father’s house
The one you grew up in then grew out of
Got yourself to higher ground
You told me you ain’t gonna miss it
But you’ll never hear it like you heard it then
Like you heard it then
I didn’t mean to wake you
Oh, I know it’s late
These walls are caving in
I didn’t mean to wake you
I left a note that read these walls are caving in
Well halfway out of town
Loading your father’s father’s gun
The one he smuggled back from Germany
After the war was won
You told me he ain’t gonna miss it
Better serve it’s purpose like it did back then
Just like it did back then
Besides he ain’t reminiscing
Yeah he’ll never hear it like he heard it then
Not like he heard it then
I didn’t mean to wake you
Oh, I know it’s late
These walls are caving in
I didn’t mean to wake you
I left a note that read these walls are caving in
Oh these walls are caving in
Walls were caving in
The one you grew up in then grew out of
Got yourself to higher ground
You told me you ain’t gonna miss it
But you’ll never hear it like you heard it then
Like you heard it then
Oh, I know it’s late
These walls are caving in
I didn’t mean to wake you
I left a note that read these walls are caving in
Loading your father’s father’s gun
The one he smuggled back from Germany
After the war was won
You told me he ain’t gonna miss it
Better serve it’s purpose like it did back then
Just like it did back then
Besides he ain’t reminiscing
Yeah he’ll never hear it like he heard it then
Not like he heard it then
Oh, I know it’s late
These walls are caving in
I didn’t mean to wake you
I left a note that read these walls are caving in
Oh these walls are caving in
Walls were caving in

First comment! First and foremost TBS is the absolute business. Lyrically, this song isn't quite as good as their former work, but still an awesome song nonetheless. I'm still trying to figure out what this song means. At first I got the feeling of a friend that was on top of the world only to see it all come crashing down and was contemplating suicide (lost family member perhaps?). That sounds way off though but that's my $0.02.
i think you got it all wrong mr dodgerguy. i think the reason why we cant really determine this songs true meaning is because it is way into deep with mr lazzara. so deep you ve had to live it to expirience it. that my friend is the best writing because it is deep in the depths of your heart where no one would understand except you. as a muscisian myself that kind of work gives me the shivers.

to me this song tells me a story of someone who wanted to get out there whole life .. was to good from where they came from .. felt like everyday walls were caving in from all the tension built between people or family or other things
my opinion
if you like tbs youll like this myspace.com/youandiunderwater
the music in the beginning before he starts singing reminds me of new found glory. idk why just sounds like something theyd put together.
I think It's Deadening To What You Are instead of I didn't mean to wake you Oh, I know it's late
