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

It's 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 and let myself go
But I've traveled much too far, where I've gone, I'll never know

What a long, long time...
Long, long time
It's 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've spent relaxin' turned to nights relaxin' too
A thousand eyes upon me, but my sights are missing you
So this time I swear I will loosen my grip
On past times and bad lines and meaningless trips

What a long, long time
Long, long time
It's 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 and over mile signs pass by my side
The more you try to find yourself, the more you tend to hide
Behind these - forest trees - and 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's been a little old while since I felt so fine
Wanderin' in the rain
Losing my mind
What a long, long time
Long time...yeah

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'll stay here alone, and lose myself on the riverways of days
I'm coming home

What a long, long time
Long, long time
It's 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
