I've heard misfortune blossoms

And wasted ways before me by the cause

Of givin' someone time enough for spendin'

Love only borrowed



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



But I believe in wastin' the years

Speakin' of the deer who has been spared

Innocence so near

A far cry from here



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



But I believe in wastin' the years

Speakin' of the deer who has been spared

Innocence so near

A far cry from here



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



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
