Far Behind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take leave, the conscious mind
Found myself to be so inclined
Why sleep in discontent?
Oh, the price of companionship

[Chorus]
My shadow runs with me
Underneath the big wide sun
My shadow comes with me as we leave it all
We leave it all far behind

[Verse 2]
Ah, empty pockets will
Allow a greater sense of wealth
Why contain yourself
Like any other book on a shelf?

[Chorus]
My shadow lays with me
Underneath the big wide sun
My shadow stays with me as we leave it all
We leave it all far behind

[Bridge]
Subtle voices in the wind
Hear the truth they're telling
A world begins where the road ends
Watch me leave it all behind
[Outro]
Far behind
Far behind

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 [?]
