Lyrics

So far, so far
 You're slipping away, away
 You're slipping away from the life and the love we made
 Baby, I'm so afraid
 So far, so far, so far (oh yeah)
 You're slipping away, away
 You're slipping right out of my grasp
 When you're fading fast it seems
 You know you're slipping away from me
 I keep on reaching and I
 I keep on trying
 But you never even hold me
 And it seems like you don't know me, baby
 I keep on yearning and I
 I guess I'm learning
 That it's just a losing fight
 'Cause there's no passion in your eyes
 So far, so far (no, no, no, baby)
 You're slipping away, away
 Slipping away from the life and the love we made
 Baby, I'm so afraid
 So far, so far, so far
 You're slipping away, away
 Slipping right out of my grasp
 When you're fading fast it seems
 You know you're slipping away from me
 I keep denying that our
 Our love is dying
 But it's all a big charade
 And it's a fruitless game to play
 I can't remember when you
 You last were tender
 And it's always touch and go
 The silence chills me to the bone
 So far, so far (yeah)
 You're slipping away, away
 You're slipping away from the life and the love we made
 Baby, I'm so afraid
 So far, so far, so far (yeah)
 You're slipping away, away
 Slipping right out of my grasp
 When you're fading fast it seems
 You know you're slipping away from me
 ♪
 Further, further
 ♪
 You're so far
 Time after time I reach for you
 Try and I try but you're so aloof
 Where is the boy that you used to be?
 Baby, you're slipping away from me (you're so far)
 Time after time I reach for you
 Try and I try but you're so aloof
 Where is the boy that you used to be?
 Baby, you're slipping away from me
 You're so far (so far, so far)
 You're slipping away, away
 Slipping away from what we had
 Truly, I just don't understand
 So far, so far, so far
 You're slipping away, away
 You're slipping right out of my grasp
 When you're fading so fast it seems
 You know you're slipping away
 Time after time I reach for you
 Try and I try but you're so aloof
 Where is the boy that you used to be?
 Baby, you're slipping away from me
 Time after time I reach for you
 Try and I try but you're so aloof
 Where is the boy that you used to be?
 Baby, you're slipping away from me
 Time after time I reach for you
 Try and I try but you're so aloof (so afraid)
 Where is the boy that you used to be?
 Baby, you're slipping away from me (yeah)
 Time after time I reach for you
 Try and I try but you're so aloof (so far)
 Where is the boy that you used to be? (So far)
 Baby, you're slipping away from me...
