Few and Far Between - Natalie Merchant
times are far between, and few I bet
we can look upon our lives without regret
of all the things I have done
you think I'm proud of everyone without exception?
'til you make your peace with yesterday
you'll never build a future
I swear by what I say
whatever penance you'll do
decide what it's worth to you
and then respect it
however long it will take
to weather your mistakes
why not accept it?
my hands, for now, are tied
I'm a body frozen
I'm a will that's paralyzed
when will you ever set aside
your pain and misery?
no matter how I beg
no matter how I wish or plead
you'll never be more than alive
you'll never do more than survive
until you expect it
do you want to build a world with our lives?
you better soon decide
or you can forget it.
my hands, for now, are tied
I'm a body frozen
I'm a will that's paralyzed
'til you drop that heavy baggage
you're dragging behind
there won't be room for us
to both go this ride
