Few And Far Between Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

Times are far between and few I bet 

We can look upon our lives without regret 

Of 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 say 

Whatever penance you do 

Decide what it's worth to you 

And then respect it 

However 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 plead 

You'll never be more than alive 

You'll never do more than survive 

Until you expect it 

Do you want to build a world with our lives? 

You better soon decide 

Or you can forget it 

My 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
