So Far Lyrics - Matthew Sweet

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? 

I'm 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's the boy that used to run? 

Could it be he's up and gone away? 

He seems so far away 

And all the things I could have done 

Could it be they've up and gone away? 

They seem so far away 

'cause it feels as if the boy in me 

Has left and been replaced with a cheap and bitter 

Impostor 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's the boy that used to run? 

Could it be he's up and gone away? 

'cause he seems so far away 

And all the things I could have done 

Could it be they've up and gone away? 

'cause they seem so far away 

Now I'm staring at the sky above 

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

'cause 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? 

'cause he seems so far away 

And all the things I could have done 

Could it be they've up and gone away? 

'cause they seem so far away 

Where'd I go wrong?
