Lyrics

Near As Far
V1
Close to the bone
When you’re low to the ground
Feeling all alone
Sitting here in the lost and found
There’s a lot that I don’t know
I ain’t near as far as I want to go

V2
I’m needing a distraction
To keep me feeling sane
All of my bad habits
These things that I can’t shake
There’s enough of me to know
I ain’t near as far as I wanna go

Chorus
I ain’t near as far as I thought I’d be by now
Right back at the start
When I thought I gained some ground
Lord grant me the faith
And the eyes to help me see
But the flesh is weak, I ain’t near as far
As I thought it’d be

Verse 3
So tired needing your approval
To earn some self esteem
Crushed by cold refusal
More I want the more I need
More I need, the less I see
I ain’t near as far as I wanna be

Chorus
I Ain’t near as far
As I thought I’d be by now
Right back at the start
When I thought I gained some ground
Lord, please grant me hope
And the eyes to help me see
The flesh is weak, I ain’t near as far
As I thought I'd be

Bridge
I am just another link
In a chain greater than me
Can’t keep it in my head
Drops like autumn leaves
Amber glow is getting warm
But this old world
Got me down


Chorus
We Ain’t near as far
As we thought we’d be by now
Right back at the start
When it seemed we gained some ground
Lord, please give us love
And the eyes to help us see
But The flesh is weak, ain’t near as far
The flesh is weak, ain’t near as far
As we thought I'd be
