"Farther Than We Should Have" lyrics
Just like a firefly
Thought our light would fade by the mornin'
Thought we knew the end of the story
Before we ever read a word
We leaned into the wind
Always took it on the chin
And let the storms pass
Somehow, we made it
Farther than we should have
Looking at a thousand miles
And the thousand left behind us
When all the bad luck tried to find us
He was looking in the wrong place
We started out low
With nowhere to go
It doesn't add up when we do the math
But somehow, we made it
Farther than we should have
Should've had names that one knows
In unmarked graves where only weeds grow
Should've been poor and sad forever
I guess some birds have secret feathers
Just like a firefly
Thought our light would fade by the mornin'
But we kept each other warm in
The cold air of the night
And it wasn't for the skill
It was always uphill
But at least we get to say that
Somehow, we made it
Farther than we should have
Somehow, we made it
Farther than we should have
Thought our light would fade by the mornin'
Thought we knew the end of the story
Before we ever read a word
We leaned into the wind
Always took it on the chin
And let the storms pass
Somehow, we made it
Farther than we should have
Looking at a thousand miles
And the thousand left behind us
When all the bad luck tried to find us
He was looking in the wrong place
We started out low
With nowhere to go
It doesn't add up when we do the math
But somehow, we made it
Farther than we should have
Should've had names that one knows
In unmarked graves where only weeds grow
Should've been poor and sad forever
I guess some birds have secret feathers
Just like a firefly
Thought our light would fade by the mornin'
But we kept each other warm in
The cold air of the night
And it wasn't for the skill
It was always uphill
But at least we get to say that
Somehow, we made it
Farther than we should have
Somehow, we made it
Farther than we should have
