Song lyrics
who said that I wasn't right?
I've lived for years without a life
don't have a soul on my side
still ridiculed despite how hard that I have tried
don't take me under your wing
I don't need a hand, don't need anything
I've got a roof over my head
as if I'd rather be alone with me instead

close yet far
drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
and I'll tip my hat to those who can't believe it's me
though I never never never ever wanted this to be

I can hear the sounds of the city
sunrise and set are the same to me
a hesitating pulse is good company
and my reflection offers no apology
but who said that I wasn't right?
and I've lived for years without a life
don't have a soul on my side
still ridiculed despite how hard that I have tried

close yet far
drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
and I'll tip my hat to those who can't believe it's me
though I never never never ever wanted this to be

close yet far
drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
and I'll think of the days when there was something to believe
though I never never never ever wanted this to be

ditto, its calmer than there other songs, but the way that its the last track on one of there albums is a good way to end it. Its got a great rythym, melody, instruments , lyrics, and vocals. Great band.

You're a fucking nut then. No one can say that song isn't good.....AT ALL.
The song is beautiful. You also have to listen to the original demo (fairman's song) to fully appreciate how much of an effort they put into this song. The lyrics are brilliant. The music is brilliant. The woooooooowoowowowoooo noise towards the end is fucking brilliant. Cuggle your greatest friendever and cry to this song at the same time. Don't say it's shit, cause it's FUCKING NOT.

i agree...i didnt like this song much when i first heard it cuz it was really soft and slow but i gave it a few listens and i smacked myself in the head wondering why i didnt listen to it before...what an awesome song...excellent way to end off one of the best albums i have ever heard in my life...too bad the bassist Vern left the band...im DYING to hear some new stuff!!

I'm not over fussed about Vern personally. He was a bass live player. He didn't play the bass you hear on the cds...

it's ashame that some people can't get past the "slow" sound to realize that the song itself is great!!! you need to listen to it, and really pay attention to the lyrics.....an angry feeling can envoke something hard and heavy or something beautiful and melodic. CKY could have made it heavy....but it wouldn't have been the same

about a year ago this song was my anthem. its a great song and one of my favorites by CKY. just the lyrics are so personal and can pretty much relate to anyone who listens to it.

Great song ... But I have to admit that I didn't like it at all the first few times I heard it.

okay let me get some things straight...1. this song isnt shit..its really good and has meaning if you can put it in your own view and figure it out 2. it is one of their bests..i mean..come on all their songs are their best so dont say its not 3. stop whining about your boyfriends and girlfriends...go listen to emo for that (nothing against emo at all i listen to it also)

but anywho..i love this song..really sweet..and fun to play on the guitar..
if any of you have a problem IM me on: InjoyNsorrow x
