Further From You Lyrics

box springs are stained with yellow pillows
held our heads down
holding the rain outside on the curb
where I wasted half of your life
both of our lives

Everything's closer to the end but
I will get farther from you
Everything's closer, it's the end but
I will get further from you

You're eyes are blue but
I can't see that color hue
it's been so dang long.
God I was wrong

I'm dead to you
you say we are friends but
what is a friend when
there is a man who
sleeps in your bed too

Everything's closer to the end but
I will get farther from you
Everything's closer, it's the end but
I will get further from you

I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong.

Everything's closer to the end but
I will get farther from you
I will get farther from you
I will get farther from you
I will get farther form you
I will get farther from you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

(Track 6 from the album The Sparrow and the Crow)

A reconciliation of a cordial relationship is established. The former wife has moved on to her next love, which coincides with her finding the means to forgive her former husband. Recognizing the reconciliation is not complete, nor will it ever be, the man understands this reunion is temporary. Lives move on. Change is constant. Without the bond he and his former wife once held this relationship is destined for desistance.
