Far far and away the best days
Of our life we still recall
Nothing to say anyway
All we used to do was
Fall in the waterfall
Float away and never care at all
Time time and again we would end
This affair that we’d begun
Only intend to be friends
All we used to do was
Run where the rivers run
Hide on the mountainside
Burn in the summer sun
Ride on the ebbing tide all right
Say what I should be saying
Feel what I could be feeling
Stay where I should be staying
Here when I could be far away
Up up and away, never stay
In a life of childhood games
Never betray yesterday
In another world I’m
Saving myself for you
Though I see you everywhere
However old it’s always new
However long I’ll still be there oh yeah
Years after the years we were here
We return each summertime
Shedding our fears and our tears
Fall like cherry blossom
We’ve come far from where we started
Seems like only yesterday
Feels as though we’d never parted
Only waiting till you say okay
Say what I should be saying
Feel what I could be feeling
Stay where I should be staying
Here when I could be far away
Say what I should be saying
Feel what I could be feeling
Stay where I should be staying
Here when I could be far away and away and away and away …
Run, run away
And never turn to look round
Each passing day
It could be years till we’re found
I don’t know what to say
Can’t explain it
Nothing here anyway
Nothing changes here
Wait for the train
The days are getting colder
Sleep in the rain
The nights are getting longer
I feel nothing at all
Only sorrow
I’ll go nowhere at all
Till tomorrow
Hard as I try
I’ll never leave this town and
Much as I cry
It only lets me down but
I’ll never find
A perfect heaven here but
Every year is a year I’m wasting here
Up in the air
Round and round and
Fall to the ground
Down and down and
Head in the clouds
Every sound is
Lost in the crowd
Never found but
Every beat of my heart
Brings me nearer
Every day we’re apart
Makes it clearer
Turn, turn around
Go back on every word and
Face to the ground
Pretend I never heard you
I can’t say how I feel
Empty inside
I can’t tell what is real
Nothing outside
Hard as I try
I’ll never leave this town and
Much as I cry
It only lets me down but
I’ll never find
A perfect heaven here but
Every year is a year I’m wasting
Every year is a year I’m wasting
Every year is a year I’m wasting here
