Remember all those afternoons
Sipping that cheap pink wine?
We'd sit for hours telling stories
With our legs entwined.
How did time make those lovers disappear?
Can somebody please explain
Why we can't get there
From here.

Remember all those dreams we shared
How life was gonna be?
We knew the future, and we were certain
Nothing could stop you and me.
Sure our love would conquer every hurt and fear -
So can somebody please explain
Why we can't get there
From here.

One road leading in, one road leading out
We try and try, and just re-trace the route.
It seems all we do is pick up the pace -
Till I turn and see the tears and sorrow on your face, because
We can't get there.

After this long journey the maps are all in disarray
They didn't guide us, but is it time
To fold and put them all away?
How can I turn and face a new frontier
When I still cannot explain
Why we can't get there
From here?

It just not fair.
We can't get there
From here.
