about

Written from some lyrical ideas sent from my first drummer when I was a young teen, Michael Knapp.

lyrics

Your lifetime filled with longing for a world just right outside your door
You stumble past and it all goes right through you

Another day has been and went and all your money has been spent
You’ve nothing left to show for it, now do you?

Questions never answered
Broken heart will never mend
You’re looking for what can't be found
But your beginning is the end

You run, so far from now
You run away, so far from now
You run away - You run away – so far - from now

You’re living in a picture show, a walk on part then time to go
You memorized your lines but can’t remember

Every day it seems the same, you get back up and play the game
From January right up through December

Car ride on a rainy day
Have fun you hear somebody say
Laughter and a little fun
But never will you see the sun...

You run, so far from now
You run away, so far from now
You run away - You run away – so far - from now

It takes some time to understand with all of the changes and demands
You’re saying words and making inuendo

Trying to forget defeat you find yourself back on the street
The soundtrack of your life a sad crescendo

Plastic, rubber, silk or steel
It’s all the same the way you feel
You took the chance and here you are
How is it that you’re still so far?

You run, so far from now - You run away, so far from now
You run away - You run away – so far - from now
