"From Afar" lyrics

You told me, "Boy, look the other way."
You told me, "Boy, bite your tongue."
Yes, that's not the way
Yeah, that's not the way
Ah, that's just not the way that friends behave
Ah, that's just not the way that friends behave
Oh, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

You lined me up
Across the room
Two falling sparks
One willing fool
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar

You told me, "Boy, look the other way."
You told me, "Boy, hide those hands."
Well, I've been living on the crumbs of your love
And I'm starving now

And that is just the way that we remain
Ah that will be the way that we remain
Oh no, no, no
No, no, no, no

You lined me up
Across the room
Two falling sparks
One willing fool
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar

You lined me up
Across the room
Two falling sparks
One willing fool
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar

It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
It shouldn't come as a surprise
She got darling hazel eyes

It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now

It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
