The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Time on your side it'll never end The most beautiful thing you can ever spend But you work in a shirt with your name tag on it Drifting apart like a plate tectonic It don't matter to me All I wanted to be Was a million miles from here Somewhere more familiar Too much time spent dragging the past up I didn't see you not looking when I messed up Settling down in your early twenties Sucked more blood than a backstreet dentist It don't matter to me All I wanted to be Was a million miles from here Somewhere more familiar [Chorus] Oh my God I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home Oh my God I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home Oh my God I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home Oh my God I can't believe it I've never been this far away from home Bright ruins lit for a greater glory The only thing growing is our history Knock me down I'll get right back up again Come back stronger than a powered-up Pacman It don't matter to me All I wanted to be Was a million miles from here Somewhere more familiar [Chorus: x2]
