Redland So Far
[Intro/Bridge:]
Looking back on all 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
[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, 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
[Verse 2:]
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 Omar on The Wire
Got in his car geared up to drive
Little did we know that would be (his last ride)
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
[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'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
