So Far

[Intro]

Looking back on what I've done

I hear the voices calling

Boy did you get what you want

Or do you feel you're haunted

Do you fly amongst the stars

Or do you feel you're falling

Wishing you could change it all

[Chorus]:

But it's so far, it's so far

It's so far, it's so far, so far

Looking back on all the things that I've said

I wish that I could build a time machine

Do the right thing change the world

Take that chance kiss that girl

Ah, but it don't work that way

I love my rear-view mirror, hell, what can I say

I credit my mistakes for half the things that I know

Steppin' blocks, steppin' stones,

That's the way that you grow

And I wish I didn't do it that way

Please tell me what can I say

But now everything is so far, ooo

Now you know who you are

So now I wish I could walk with you

And if I had the chance I'd talk with you

Tryin' to explain why I did everything

The way I did it

I know it's hard to live with, hard to come to grips with

The fact that I ain't got that chance

Somebody switched up the beat

Now we can't dance

Better yet, we at different tempos

Me and you close ain't what we was meant for

Uh, so now I'm asking God why

Even though I know the answer I'm asking God to try

To give me peace with what I know I can't change

Even if it's far away, away, away

[Chorus:]

It's so far, it's so far

It's so far, it's so far

It's so far, so far

If I could change one thing I think I would

Go back and tell what I probably should

'cept everything happened so fast that

I wish I had a chance to flash back

And erase that fatal mistake

Maybe I coulda stopped the whole thing from takin' place

But I failed to act I just sat there and watched

I just stood at the bar downin' shot after shot

Everyone focused on the girls we desire

Forgot to take his keys like home on the wire

Got in his car geared up to drive

Little did we know that would be (his last night)

Ignoring the red lights, ignoring the stop signs

The car loses control, he wish he could rewind

Ignoring the red lights, ignoring the stop signs

The car loses control, he wish he could rewind

Looking back on what I've done

I hear the voices calling

Boy did you get what you want

Or do you feel you're haunted

Do you fly amongst the stars

Or do you feel you're falling

Wishing you could change it all

[Chorus:]

But it's so far, it's so far

It's so far, it's so far, so far
