Far & Away (original song)

This is a song I just got finished writing on this lonely Monday night. I know I made some mistakes, in particular one big melody mistake on the second pre-chorus but, like I said, it's brand new so just try to ignore the mistakes.

Basically it was written for a small handful of my very close friends that each know me better than anyone else I have ever known but unfortunately all live hundreds of miles away from me. I can only keep in touch with these people via the internet and sadly some folks in my life don't really understand why or how I can still be so close to these people or even still call them my friends.

So...Banny, Skippy, Ho-Boat & Ninare'er, I love you guys and this is for you and for anyone else who knows how we feel.


LYRIC:

"Far & Away"

Across the ocean or across the room
Distance between, people assume
Is less, is less when we're together

But when I see a stranger's face
I wish that yours could take its place


Cuz you're so far and away
But closer today
Than this person standing next to me
They do not know what I can see
So far and away


Across the table, a universal room
That they know me they would assume
Since we are right, we're right here together

But when they see my panicked eyes
I'm hoping they will recognize


That I'm so so far and away
Cuz closer today
Is this person I can never see
Who knows every stitch of me
From so far and away
So far and away

I love this song. I don't have many friends here at all, and I know if you, Brandy, and I were closer in distance, we'd hang out a lot, as well as some of my other friends that are far away.
