Natalie Merchant - Few And Far Between lyrics

[Verse 1:] 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 You'll never build a future I swear by what i say Whatever penance you'll 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? [Chorus:] My hands, for now, are tied I'm a body frozen I'm a will that's paralyzed [Verse 2:] 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 [Chorus:] 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
