Up And Gone

Staring at the white above

can't tell if I'm alive or am I dead?

or is it in my head?

(where'd I go wrong?)

Staring at the white above

one day I closed my eyes

and here I am

a cold unhappy man

I've come to realize the life I have

I hate, the pulse I need is slowly fading

until I've lost it all

I've been waiting for an inspiration

for a chance I never got to take

before it's much too late

(where'd I go wrong?)

Where's the boy that used to run?

could it be he's up and gone away?

(seems so far away) he seems so far away

and all the things I could have done

could it be they've up and gone away?

(seems so far away) they seem so far away

It feels as if the boy in me

has left and been replaced with a cheap and bitter

imposter of myself

I must find the one that used to be

approach him slow, don't be afraid to say

"can he come out and play?"

(where'd I go wrong?)

Where's the boy that used to run?

could it be he's up and gone away?

(seems so far away) he seems so far away

and all the things I could have done

could it be they've up and gone away?

(seems so far away) they seem so far away

Staring at the sky above

I've found a chance I'm finally going to take

I've learned from my mistakes

(where'd I go wrong?)

Where's the boy that used to run?

could it be he's up and gone away?

(seems so far away) he seems so far away

(where'd I go wrong?)

and all the things I could have done

could it be they've up and gone away?

(seems so far away) they seem so far away

(where'd I go wrong?)
