Just So Far Away Lyrics & Chords By Slide

Flung into the open. Like a seed on a castle floor.
I'm pushing up. But someone's pushing down.
Can see a foot behind the door.
I'm not looking for a favour. I'm just trying to make it pay.
And everything that's just so close is just so far away.
Playing in the suburbs. Made of concrete made to pound.
Tearing down the things that last.
Leave 'em buried without a sound.
I'm not here to look for anyone. I'm just trying to find a way.
And everything that's just so close is just so far away.
Riding on a Blackhorse. Doing what I should.
Swinging up to Clonard Road.
Across to the Hunter's wood.
Not here to make companions. Not made 'em anyway.
And everything that's just so close is just so far away.
Checking in the paper. Staying sharp and biding time.
With markers laid & bribes all paid.
I'm sticking to one line.
I'm not looking for a quick fix. I'm just a river to the bay.
And everything that's just so close is just so far away.
Breaking up the city. Breaking all around.
People scrambling to the roofs.
Scrambling to be found.
Not looking for an answer; not looking for a place to pray.
And everything that's just so close is just so far away.
Restless with the present. No respite from the past.
Alive but not yet living.
Going nowhere fast.
Eyes closed but not yet sleeping. Between both night and day.
And everything that's just so close is just so far away.
