The One That Lives Too Far Lyrics - Songs - John Fullbright

I haven't told myself the truth 

Since the first night you were gone 

I'd like to think I was living easy 

And love was mostly living all alone 

Maybe it's the wind blowing us together 

Maybe it's the world blowing me away 

Maybe it's all trees bow down before us 

Pleading for a lonely heart to stay 

Truth be told, the odds are stacked against us 

Truth be told they often always are 

Unless you really care about me don't go up the stairs without 

the boy that let you drive him in your Mama's beat up car 

Don't forget the one that lives too far 

Some folks make something out of nothing 

Some people have to cry too long 

While others wait beside the window 

Wondering why the wind would blow so strong 

Now I'll admit I'm feeling cold and naked 

Just like I'm standing in the rain 

With nothing left out here to hide behind 

And I wonder if you feel the same 

Truth be told, the odds are stacked against us 

Truth be told they often always are 

Unless you really care about me don't go up the stairs without 

the boy that let you drive him in your Mama's beat up car 

Don't forget the one that lives too far
