As Far As I Could Get Lyrics

[Chorus]
As far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
And the cedars like spires
Wasting my goddamn time


[Bridge]
Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too
Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too

As far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
I went as far as I could get
I went as far as I could get

[Verse 4]
Past the city and the sermons
The cemetery standing still
Past the mountain and the monument
The houses and the hills

Past the signs and the sirens
The sinners and the saints
I went as far as I could get
Past the hallowed and the horror
The humbled and the greed
I went as far as I could get
Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
