Lyrics
So Far away Now Copyright 2009 Mike Swinchoski-Lyrics
Nathan Aronow - Music
Verse 1
There was a girl out west, Who was generous and kind
For a while I allowed (let) her to take control of my mind
But my view wasn't (was not) complete
Sadly I (went to) hit the street
I hope we're now the people we (that) thought we would find
Middle1
Time to put the dreams to bed now
Time that changes all our heads now
Things worked out the way they did now
'cause that's so far away now
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd verse
There was a man from the East Who was spirit filled and wise
He enriched the world (that was sitting) behind my eyes
But my freedom talks too loud to bear
Cause where he was from you lived in fear
I pray every night he's still alive
Middle2
Time to put regret away now
Time to think about the things you say now
Things worked out the way they did now
'cause that's so far away now
'cause that's so far away now
'cause that's so far away now
3rd verse
There was a friend, a brother of mine
No one could figure out how to help him escape the pain inside
A maze, a puzzle couldn't solve (it) if you tried
His brilliance made the system beat him down 'till he died
Middle3
Time to put away the blame now
Time to put away the pain now
I'll take your ghost and take your lessons (with me) now
'cause that's so far away now
'cause that's so far away now
'cause that's so far away now
