[Intro / Bridge:] 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 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
[Verse 1:]
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 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 grief with The fact that I ain't got that chance Somebody switched up the beat Now we can't dance Better yet, we are different typos Me and you close ain't what we was meant for 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
[Chorus:] It's so far, it's so far It's so far, it's so far It's so far, so far
[Verse 2:]
If I could change one thing I think I would Go back and tell what I probably should Everything happened so fast that I wish I had a chance to flash back And erase that fatal mistake Maybe I could stop the whole thing from takin' place But I fail to act I just said There are ones that just stood while the boy had 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'd be (his last drive) Ignoring the red lines, ignoring the stop signs The car loses control, he wish he could rewind Ignoring the red lines, ignoring the stop signs The car loses control, he wish he could rewind
[Bridge:] Looking back on what I've done I hear the voices calling Boy did you get what you want Or do you feel you haunted Do you fly amongst the stars Or do you feel you 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
