Up and gone

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?)

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'd I go wrong?)

Where's the boy that used to run?
could it be he's up and gone away?
(seems so far away) he seems so far away
and all the things I could have done
could it be they've up and gone away?
(seems so far away) they seem so far away

It feels as if the boy in me
has left and been replaced with a cheap and bitter
imposter 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'd I go wrong?)

Where's the boy that used to run?
could it be he's up and gone away?
(seems so far away) he seems so far away
and all the things I could have done
could it be they've up and gone away?
(seems so far away) they seem so far away

Staring at the sky above
I've found a chance I'm finally going to take
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?
(seems so far away) he seems so far away
(where'd I go wrong?)
and all the things I could have done
could it be they've up and gone away?
(seems so far away) they seem so far away
(where'd I go wrong?)
