I know you, / you know me, /
we don't need anything at all, / anyway. /
The club lounge, / the right sounds, /
but we were heading for a fall, / just slipped away, /
so tell me, /
how did we get this far, / how did we get this far, /
how did we get this far, / anyway? /
So tell me, /
how did we get this far, / how did we get this far, /
how did we get this far, / far away? /
In deep space, / a big place /
where we were hiding from it all, / yesterday. /
Up mountains, / a snow-ride, /
I don't feel anything at all, / anyway, /
and tell me, /
how did we get this far, / how did we get this far, /
how did we get this far, / anyway? /
And tell me, /
how did we get this far, / how did we get this far, /
how did we get this far, / far away? /
So far away, / so far away. /
And tell me, /
how did we get this far, / how did we get this far, /
how did we get this far, / anyway? /
And tell me, /
how did we get this far, / how did we get this far, /
how did we get this far, / far away? /
So tell me, /
how did we get this far, (how did we get this far?) /
how did we get this far, (how did we get this far?) /
how did we get this far, / anyway? /
And baby, /
how did we get this far, (how did we get this far?) /
how did we get this far, (how did we get this far?) /
how did we get this far, / far away? /
So far away, / far away. /
So far away, / far away. /
So far away, / far away. /
