Lyrics of From Afar by Vance Joy
verse
They told me, "Boy look the other way"
Told me, "Boy, bite your tongue"
'Cause that's not the way
Yeah, that's not the way
Oh, that's just not the way
That friends behave
pre-chorus
Oh, that's just not the way that friends behave
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
chorus
You light me up across the room
Two falling sparks, one willing fool
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar
verse
Told me, "Boy, look the other way"
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
pre-chorus
Oh, that will be the way that we remain
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
chorus
You light me up across the room
Two falling sparks, one willing fool
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from all afer
chorus
You light me up across the room
Two falling sparks, one willing fool
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar
outro
It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
It shouldn't come as a surprise
You got darling hazel eyes
outro
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
outro
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
