M. Lockwood Porter - There to Here Lyrics

I told you that I meant you no harm,
And I meant it when I said it. Then I held you in my arms
For a long time. We stared up at the skyline,
Two hearts beating to a rhythm that they shared.
How'd we get to here from there?

Lying in your arms, I loved the world.
It was another wicked winter, but the first one with a girl.
After last call, we'd trudge home through the snowfall
And your love would warm me better than the beer.
How'd we get from there to here?

I won't cry. You know how good I am at telling myself lies.
I'll learn to love another better by and by.
But the hardest part is looking back and asking myself, ""Why?""

Together on the porch, but miles apart.
How am I supposed to salvage all these pieces of my heart?
I let you share them. I didn't think to ask to spare them.
I gave them freely for I knew not what to fear.
How'd we get from there to here?
