Lyrics
Far Behind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All I need is a walking cane, to guide me on my way.
A hat to push away the rain, that would be okay.
Starting over to begin, I'm standing here to strong.
I never thought I'd ever see it all...
I stand to tall, but I shrink away,
I never thought I'd feel as good as the way I feel today.
So I'll run away, 'cause things aren't quite going my way.
Run away from yesterday, tomorrow we'll be free.
I slipped today but that's okay, I need a new routine.
Those who live and those who die,
shining like the sun, all trying to peak over the wall...
I stand to tall, but I shrink away,
I never thought I'd feel as good as the way I feel today.
[Chorus] When I turned on MTV,
I saw just what I wanted to be.
But that was yesterday and things aren't quite going my way...
