Charlie Brown JR. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So far away, but it's ok
It's all right
I'm gonna live my life
You're not with me today
But I try to understand
It's all right
I'm gonna live my life

I don't want to let you go

So far away, so I'm missing you
That's always you
So far away, so I'm missing you
That's always you
You're so far away

Behind the walls so many dreams fall down
It's all right
I'm gonna live my life

You said to me you're out
You've just cried enough
It's all right
I'm gonna live my life

I don't want to let you go

So far away, so I'm missing you
That's always you
So far away, so I'm missing you

That's always you
You're so far away
