"Before I Get There" lyrics
"Before I Get There"
How long now have I been here?
And how long will I stay?
Got a little more work to do
Before I'm on my way
Tying all of my loose ends
Still got debt to pay
Picking up the pieces
Before I'm on my way
Before I'm on my way
Before I'm on my way
Before I get there
Before I show up
Before I'm somewhere
Before I grow up
I'll be here taking in right now 'til I'm ready to go
When my time comes along to move on then I'll already know
I'll be ready to go
All the coming and going
I see it everyday
But I got a little more work to do
Before I'm on my way
While I'm still here in the place I lay
I'll be soaking up the moments
Before I'm on my way
Before I get there
Before I show up
Before I'm somewhere
Before I grow up
I'll be here taking in right now 'til I'm ready to go
When my time comes along to move on then I'll already know
I'll be ready to go
I do believe that the measure of a man
Is the length he will go from the place he began
And I remind myself as I walk across the land
That the less I overstep means the more I understand
Before I get there
Before I show up
Before I'm somewhere
Before I grow up
I'll be here taking in right now 'til I'm ready to go
When my time comes along to move on then I'll already know
I'll be ready to go

The Head And The Heart - "Shake" Well the ink in my pen ran dry long before your smile
And the pages have always been blank like the trees in the wild
But the wind yes the wind keeps pushing you to me
Time being time I know when...
Ra Ra Riot - "Water" Tired of sleeping on the sidewalk
Working at the bus stop night 'til morning
Tired and waiting for the sunlight
When it comes, it's still dark where I'm going
Don't, don't punish me for what I feel...
Matt & Kim - "Let's Run Away" 1, 2, 1, come on!
Let's run, run, run, run away
Don't bring, bring anything
Somewhere, where, where, where we'll stand
Without locks, keys, and kings
Called on the last pay phone
Just to hear it...
Yoke Lore - "Hold Me Down" I'll take you in long strides, I'll teach you my night rhymes
Deny me just three times, I won't forget the mess or your red face
Just help me to speak slow, grip down my hips when I feel low
My dirt...
Langhorne Slim - "Strangers" I was born and I've been running since
Done things that make no sense
There was a devil in me
I had to set him free
New moods on old desires
Things burn if you set 'em on fire
Got a plan, I gotta be...
