about

I got the idea for this song during a break in a lecture about nuclear weapons and I remember trying to be clever during the lecture and people thought I was a nerd. This song is pretty sad. Funny thing the last lines of the second verse of this song is quite similar to those of "Every Step" even if they were written months apart. I wrote this song the same day as I wrote "Sand in My Shoes", actually.

lyrics

(so) Far Away

Verse 1

I feel like I'm an old man
It used to be better before
The sun would shine until ten o'clock
But that doesn't happen no more
I had all my plans for the future
I had all my dreams that never got right
Everything got harder, my grades got lower
I woke up in the middle of the night

Pre-Chorus

Something happens
Happens for a reason
Is this a sad life
or is it just the season?

Chorus

It, isn't that sunny no more
My life reminds me of litter on the floor
Try to save me with happy thoughts
in the shadow of my happiness
And even if I smile and laugh every day
It's just for a while, the perfect life
is so far away

Verse 2

It's raining always
The sun doesn't shine
The bus in the morning
is never on time
But I can see hope
At least I see some
I know that the good times
are going to come

Bridge

I think of summer some years ago
It takes me back, I miss it so
Sleeping late, staying up all night
Not because of nightmares, but because it felt alright
But when there's something new, I miss the old
And when it's summer I wish it was cold
But I hope I will make it this time X3
Fucking make it this time!

Last Chorus

It, it isn't that sunny no more
My life reminds me of litter on the floor
I hope I get some happy thoughts
in the shadow of my happiness
I'm gonna smile and laugh every day
And hope that the perfect life
is not that far away!

(Not that far away)
It's so far away)
(Not that far away)
It's so far away
