Lyrics
How long till you come to the end of your reckless streak
Expressing curiosity about the duration of a self-destructive phase or behavior.
How long till the freedom weighs you down
Asking how long it will take for the weight of newfound freedom to become burdensome.
How long till your heart figures out that you need me
Wondering when the realization of needing the speaker emotionally will occur.
How long until you turn around
Asking when the person will make a U-turn or change their current path.
When you come back home

I’ll be running out to meet you

When you come back home

You’ll find that I’ve never left you
