Too Far Lyrics - Lo-fantasy - Sam Roberts Band

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 pop 

He 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 escape 

Ah 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 far 

She'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 moon 

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 far 

This 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 anymore 

Ah 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 far 

Are you coming with me when I go, when I go 

Are you coming with me when I go, when I go
