From Where You Are – Lifehouse Lyrics
So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you, yeah I miss you
So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you, yeah I miss you
Kakinarase sonzai wo
Koko ni iru to…
Arata na tabi ga ima hajimaru
When you’re naked in the shower
When you’re sleeping for an hour
When you’re big, when you’re small
Oh, I wish i was a fly on the wall
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
It’s the morning of your very first day
You say "Hi" to your friends you ain’t seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybody’s way
It’s your freshman year and you’re gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
"You know I haven’t seen you around, before"
I don’t know but
I think I maybe
Fallin’ for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
Keep this to myself
Waiting ’til I
Know you better
[Chorus]
It may not mean nothing to y’all,
but understand nothing was done for me,
so i don’t plan on stopping at all,
I want this sh-t forever man, ever man, ever man,
I’m shutting sh-t down in the mall,
and telling every girl she the one for me,
and i aint even planning to call,
i want this sh-t forever man, ever man, ever man,
How many times
Can I push it aside
Is it time I befriended all the ghosts of all the things that haunt me most
So they leave me alone
Move on with my life
Be certain the steps of left and right don’t fight the direction of upright
It starts with one time to fit in
Addiction slowly setting in
I drifted off into dismay
Eyes looking back at me
I can’t even see your face
The pressure is closing in
It’s taking me again
Wait it’s all than I can take
I’m standing in the center of the room
I watch the boys follow girl’s perfume
All is as it should be I assume
Except for the distance between me and you
You’re standing as a flower on the wall
The room is still but we’re about to fall
And all the names that brought us here
Simply fade away…..
Everyday feels like a Monday
There is no escaping from the heartache
Now I wanna put it back together
’Cause it’s always better late then never
Wishin’ I could be in California
I wanna tell you when I call you
I could’ve fallen in love
I wish I’d fallen in love
Somebody call 911!
Shawty fire burning on the dance floor, whoa
(Fire burning, fire burning)
What a gwaan!
Kingston, let’s go, hey!
RedOne, hey, hey
Shawty got that super thing
Hotter than the sun in the south in Spain
Got me soon as I walked through the door
[Chorus]
Hard to follow my dreams workin this 9 to 5
People keep tellin me my check is on the way
So sun up to sundown I’m grindin, tryin to make it by
Prayin for my shift to come and take away the pain
That day is finally here [x3]
New shoes, new clothes, new whip, new chain,
new wrist, knew that, knew this, finally here
That day is finally here [x2]
New shoes, new clothes, new whip, new chain
New wrist, knew that, knew this
You take a deep breath
And you walk through the doors
It’s the mornin of your very first day
You say hi to your friends you ain’t seen in a while
And try to stay out of everybody’s way
It’s your freshman year
And you’re gonna be here for the next 4 years
In this town
Hopin’ one of those Senior boys
Will wink at you and say ’I haven’t seen you around before’
Once upon a time, I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye
and we caught onto something
I hold onto the night, you looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
Were you just kidding?
cause it seems to me, this thing is breaking down
we almost never speak
I dont feel welcome anymore
baby what happened, please tell me?
