This land is real real as the next man This land is there for all to see Youre standing there so cold and calm You stand so close to me And you out there can keep away Theres nothing owed to you All I wants to lose myself and stay so close to you The river is cruel its pipes are sprayed with long forgotten names Big boys now with kids whose lives will never feel the same If you out there dont get what I say theres nothing owed to you To feel that way is born inside no matter what you do I wonder how my fortune fell When everything began to melt The case I had for wasting that That never came I want to walk away again Away again Away again There to wonder how those things will never be Searching for that grand illusion fools have called the key If you dont care just keep away how can I give hope to you Nearer now are both our futures me our hearts and you And yet all I want is to lose myself and stay so close to you All I want is to stay so close to you
