Innocence so near
A far cry from here
Distance stands the swallow's heart from lendin' me
Innocence so near
Listenin' to the lies and self-belief
Love only borrowed
Innocence so near
Love only borrowed
Of givin' someone time enough for spendin'
And I've placed myself at ease
Speakin' of the deer who has been spared
A far cry from here
But I believe in wastin' the years
A far cry from here
Even still, the night is passin'
Behind a heart an emptiness still follows
Some are sad but true to know
But I believe in wastin' the years
Love only borrowed
Speakin' of the deer who has been spared
Speakin' of the deer who has been spared
There's belongin' in just longin' for someone
My shoulder rests a road I only follow
A far cry from here
For wantin' somethin' close enough for keepin'
A far cry from here
But I believe in wastin' the years
