Few and Far Between - 10,000 Maniacs

Few and Far Between Lyrics

Times are far between and few I bet
We can look upon our lives without regretOf all the things I have done
You think I'm proud of everyone
Without exception'Til you make your peace with yesterday
Never build a future I swear by what I sayWhatever penance you do
Decide what it's worth to you
And then respect itHowever 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 pleadYou'll never be more than alive
You'll never do more than survive
Until you expect itDo you want to build a world with our lives?
You better soon decide
Or you can forget itMy 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
