As Far As I Can Tell Lyrics

It's not the way it seems

From way up high

The clouds that fog your view

Don't question why

It's just the way it is

Or's meant to be

The downward fall we feel

Won't set us free

I don't remember why

You used to know

The way things were to be

But did not go

I wait for years on end

For what was planned

I fell for so much shit

I could not stand

You can't control the time

And think you won

You don't command the stars

And hold the sun

You don't hold all the cards

In the hand you're dealt

It's all beyond your grasp

As far as I can tell

I thought I knew you then

Back when we could

It seems so far away

It seemed so good

The thought of knowing what

I thought we knew

Is lying to me face

You know it's true

The fear that conquers us

And breaks us down

And chains us to the

Truth that comes around

The lies that live beneath

The covered face

Will tie your hands and feet

And lose the race

You can't control the time

And think you won

You don't command the stars

And hold the sun

You don't hold all the cards

In the hand you're dealt

It's all beyond your grasp

As far as I can tell
