A Far Cry From You
Journey of Tears: A Far Cry From Love
Lyrics
I'm on a white line runnin' down the interstate
I'm driving on the interstate.
Tryin' to wipe away the rain that's runnin' down my face
Trying to wipe away tears streaming down my face.
Goin' any ol' where any ol' place
Heading to any place, anywhere.
Just someplace else
Just not here.
By now you know that I'm not there
Acknowledging that the listener knows I'm not present.
And if you don't know why
Questioning if the listener understands the reason for my absence.
Well can't you see the tears it took for me to say goodbye?
Asking the listener to see the emotional difficulty in saying goodbye.
Yeah, I left a few on your old sweater
Left tears on your old sweater.
Watched 'em fall on lovesick letters and I cried a river
Tears fell on letters expressing lovesickness; cried intensely.
Cried a mile wide one
Cried a wide and expansive river of tears.
I even cried some crocodile ones
Even shed insincere or fake tears.
But from out here you can't hear me callin'
Not audible from a distance, calling out to the listener.
And you won't see me when I start fallin'
Won't be seen when I start falling emotionally.
'Cause this time maybe the next time that I do
Perhaps, in the future, the next time I go through this, things will be different.
I'll be a far cry from you
I'll be significantly different from you.
In a moment of truth It's a matter of fact
Reflecting on a moment of truth; it's a fact that there's no going back.
There's only one way to go and that ain't going back
There's only one direction to move, and it's not a return.
So I ain't stopped since I stopped for gas a hundred miles ago
Continuous movement since the last stop for gas.
And right now I'm caught somewhere between gone and gone for good
Currently in a state between leaving and leaving for good.
These tears will dry but there've been times I wondered if they would
Tears will eventually dry, but uncertainty lingers.
Yeah, I left a few on your old sweater
Left tears on your old sweater.
Watched 'em fall on lovesick letters and I cried a river
Tears fell on letters expressing lovesickness; cried intensely.
Cried a mile wide one
Cried a wide and expansive river of tears.
I even cried some crocodile ones
Even shed insincere or fake tears.
From out here you can't hear me callin'
Not audible from a distance, calling out to the listener.
And you won't see me when I start fallin'
Won't be seen when I start falling emotionally.
'Cause this time maybe the next time that I do
Perhaps, in the future, the next time I go through this, things will be different.
I'll be a far cry from you
I'll be significantly different from you.
Yeah, from out here you can't hear me callin'
Not audible from a distance, calling out to the listener.
And you won't see me when I start fallin'
Won't be seen when I start falling emotionally.
'Cause this time maybe the next time that I do
Perhaps, in the future, the next time I go through this, things will be different.
I'll be a far cry from you
I'll be significantly different from you.
