A Far Cry From Here

[Verse 1]
I've heard misfortune blossoms
And wasted ways before me by the cause
Of givin' someone time enough for spendin'
Love only borrowed

[Verse 2]
And I've placed myself at ease
Listenin' to the lies and self-belief
For wantin' somethin' close enough for keepin'
A far cry from here

[Chorus]
But I believe in wastin' the years
Speakin' of the deer who has been spared
Innocence so near
A far cry from here

[Verse 3]
Even still, the night is passin'
Behind a heart an emptiness still follows
Distance stands the swallow's heart from lendin' me
Love only borrowed

[Chorus]
But I believe in wastin' the years
Speakin' of the deer who has been spared
Innocence so near
A far cry from here

[Verse 4]
Some are sad but true to know
There's belongin' in just longin' for someone
My shoulder rests a road I only follow
Love only borrowed

[Chorus]
But I believe in wastin' the years
Speakin' of the deer who has been spared
Innocence so near
A far cry from here
A far cry from here
A far cry from here
