Sam Roberts Band - Too Far lyrics
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
