How Long
David Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll soon be free just to be with me
So I'll stay by the phone
I'm waiting every night at home
Watching TV shows and honey
Heaven knows, I'm always alone
Hoping that if I do, you're gonna love me too
And I won't have to wait too long
But how long is too long?
I've got to know, you're making me lose my mind
How long is too long?
'Cause baby, I've been waiting a long, long time
How long for so long?
Hoping everything will turn out okay, so tell me
How long is too long?
To sit around and wait till you come my way
I see you walking around with him
Holding hands and making plans
You're never apart
I see the way you look at him
When you're in a crowd, I know it makes him proud
While it's breaking my heart
And all the time you tell me
I keep on loving you
And if I do, you're gonna love me too
And I won't have to wait too long
But how long is too long?
Got to know, you're making me lose my mind
How long is too long?
'Cause baby, I've been waiting a long, long time
How long for so long?
Hoping everything will turn out okay, so tell me
How long is too long?
To sit around and wait till you come my way
How long, how long is too long?
How long? How long?
How long is too long?
I've got to know, you're making me lose my mind
How long is too long?
'Cause baby, I've been waiting a long, long time
How long for so long?
Hoping everything will turn out okay, so tell me
How long is too long?
To sit around and wait till you come my way
How long is too long?
I've got to know, you're making me lose my mind
How long is too long?
The lyrics to David's song "How Long" explore the emotions of a person who is hopelessly in love with someone who is stuck in a toxic relationship. The singer expresses their frustration over waiting for the person they love to break free and be with them. They stay by the phone, hoping for a call, but it never comes. They watch the person they love with their partner and see the way they look at each other. It breaks their heart.
Despite being repeatedly told that the person they love will love them too if they keep waiting, the singer is constantly questioning how long they should wait. They wonder how long is too long, how long they should keep holding on to hope, and how long they should keep suffering. At the same time, they fear losing the person they love, so they keep hoping that everything will turn out okay.
Overall, the lyrics to "How Long" convey the intense pain and longing of loving someone who cannot reciprocate those feelings. The singer's emotional turmoil is palpable throughout the song, and the repeated refrain of "how long is too long?" underscores the desperation of the situation.

How much longer should I endure this plight?
How long? How long?
How much more waiting do I have to do?
