Too Far Lyrics


He's been working at the shoe shop
But he was dreaming of the big top
Met a girl made his heart stop
Bought her flowers and a soda popHe said
I'm working hard for the money I make
Paying double for every mistake
I got a sister but we don't relate
I'm sowing seeds for my great escapeAh honey run away with me
No more working in the factory
I know that my car's a little beat up, girl
But you'll be living with your feet up, girl
I need to know cause I leave tonight
Are you coming or is this goodbye?She said
Send me a postcard
You're taking it too far
Send me a postcard
You're taking it too farShe's been hiding in the suburbs
Memorizing all the Proverbs

And now he tells her that he loves her
Could it be that it's just words?
Never a weight that he didn't drop
Never a feel that he didn't cop
She may never be a pin-up girl
But she walks with her chin up
And she'd never run away with you
You can steal the sun, you can hide the moonSend me a postcard
You're taking it too far
Send me a postcard
You're taking it too far
I don't care who you are
Just send me a postcard
I don't care who you are
You're taking it too farThis isn't enough for me
It's not who I'm meant to be
I always wanted more
But I see a closing door
So if you're coming with me
To the promised land
If you're coming with me
Darling take my hand
Baby all I can see are the bright lights
We could be leaving at midnight
Oh! Whatcha waiting for?
I can't stay here anymoreAh honey don't you hesitate
(No, no)
Don't leave me waiting by the garden gate
My mama told me that it's good to be patient
So I'll be waiting by the railroad station
Can't you see that I've changed my tune
I'll be your Sunday afternoon
I'm as constant as the sea
Or as much as you need me to be
And I'm never gonna ask again
Is this the start or is this the end?She said
Send me a postcard
You're taking it too far
Send me a postcard
You're taking it too far
I don't care who you are
Just send me a postcard
I don't care who you are
You're taking it too farAre you coming with me when I go, when I go
Are you coming with me when I go, when I go

Sam Roberts is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter, based in Montreal, Quebec. His 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.

Born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, he attended Loyola High School and McGill University. Roberts formed the band William in 1993. The band's name was changed to Northstar in 1996. Although the band gained some notice in independent rock circles, they couldn't break through to a national audience, and broke up in the late 1990s. Roberts' bandmate George Donoso went on to significant success in indie rock circles with The Dears, but Roberts struggled for several years afterward.

In 2000 Roberts began his solo career by independently releasing his first studio album, Brother Down. The album was largely unsuccessful but the title track would later go on to be re-recorded and re-released on a six-song EP titled The Inhuman Condition. The EP sold slowly at first, but by the summer of 2002 Roberts was all over the Canadian airwaves: his first single "Brother Down" had become one of the biggest Canadian hits of the year, and the follow up single "Don't Walk Away Eileen" quickly followed suit.

Roberts then signed to Universal Music, releasing his full-length debut, We Were Born in a Flame, in 2003. That album's singles, "Where Have All the Good People Gone?", "Hard Road", "Brother Down" and "Don't Walk Away Eileen", became major hits, especially in Canada.

The band's album Chemical City, produced with Joseph Donovan and released on April 11, 2006, got major radio play in Canada after its release, especially the single "The Gate".

The band's latest release, the album Love at the End of the World (May 20, 2008), included the song "Them Kids", which reached #1 on the Canadian indie chart (the R3-30), and also #1 on CFNY's Thursday 30 chart.

The band released the album Collider on May 10, 2011. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
