Come So Far
Hairspray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey old friend, let's look back
On the crazy clothes we wore
Ain't it fun to look back
And to see it's all been done before

All those nights together
Are a special memory
And I can't wait for tomorrow
Just as long as you're
dancing next to me

Cause it's so clear
Every year
We get stronger
What's gone is gone
The past is the past
Turn the radio up
And then hit the gas

Cause . . .
I know we've Come So Far
But we've Got So Far To Go
I know the road seems long
But it won't be long 'till it's time to go

So, most days we'll take it fast
And some nights lets take it slow
I know we've Come So Far
But baby
We've Got So Far To Go

Hey old friend, together
Side by side and year by year
The road was filled with twists
and turns
Oh but that's the road that
got us here

Let's move past the bad times
But before those memories fade
Let's forgive but not forget
And learn from the mistakes we made

Cause it's so clear
Every year
We get stronger
So don't give up
Don't say when
And just get back on the road again

Cause . . .
I know we've Come So Far
But we've Got So Far To Go
I know the road seems long
But it won't be long till it's
time to go

So, most days we'll take it fast
And some nights lets take it slow
I know we've Come So Far
Oh but baby, baby
We've Got So Far To Go

Hey old friend come along for the ride
There's plenty of room so jump inside
The highway's rocky every now and then
But it so much better than
where I've been

Just keep movin', at your own speed
Your heart is all the compass
you'll ever need
Let's keep cruisin' the road we're on
'Cause the rear view mirror only shows
what's gone, gone, gone

Cause it's so clear
Every year
We get stronger
So shine that light
Take my hand
And let's dance into tomorrow land

Cause . . .
I know we've Come So Far
But we've Got So Far To Go
I know the road seems long
But it won't be long till it's
time to go

So, most days we'll take it fast
And some nights lets take it slow
I know we've Come So Far




Oh but baby, baby
We've Got So Far To Go

Line by Line Meaning

Hey old friend, let's look back
Let's reminisce about the past with an old friend


On the crazy clothes we wore
Remembering the quirky fashion of the past


Ain't it fun to look back
Nostalgia can be enjoyable


And to see it's all been done before
Realizing that everything has already happened


All those nights together
Shared experiences create special memories


Are a special memory
Memories that are cherished


And I can't wait for tomorrow
Excitement for the future


Just as long as you're dancing next to me
As long as we're together, we'll be happy


Cause it's so clear
It's obvious and understandable


Every year
With every passing year


We get stronger
We become more resilient


What's gone is gone
The past cannot be changed


The past is the past
The events that have already occurred


Turn the radio up
Crank up the singers


And then hit the gas
Move forward full speed


I know we've Come So Far
We've made significant progress


But we've Got So Far To Go
There's still a long way to go


So, most days we'll take it fast
Some days we'll move quickly


And some nights lets take it slow
Other days we'll move at a leisurely pace


Hey old friend, together
Friends who have stuck together through thick and thin


Side by side and year by year
Through the passage of time


The road was filled with twists and turns
Life is full of unexpected changes


Oh but that's the road that got us here
We wouldn't be where we are without the journey


Let's move past the bad times
Leave behind negative experiences


But before those memories fade
Before they are forgotten


Let's forgive but not forget
Acknowledging the past but not holding grudges


And learn from the mistakes we made
Growth comes from learning from past failures


So don't give up
Keep persevering


Don't say when
Don't give up just yet


And just get back on the road again
Keep moving forward


Hey old friend come along for the ride
Inviting a friend to join in the journey


There's plenty of room so jump inside
There's space for everyone


The highway's rocky every now and then
Expect obstacles and challenges along the way


But it so much better than where I've been
It's better than the past struggles


Just keep movin', at your own speed
Keep progressing, at your own pace


Your heart is all the compass you'll ever need
Trust your intuition and follow your heart


Let's keep cruisin' the road we're on
Let's continue on the current path


'Cause the rear view mirror only shows what's gone, gone, gone
Don't dwell on the past


So shine that light
Be bright and positive


Take my hand
Let's support each other


And let's dance into tomorrow land
Embrace the future with joy


Oh but baby, baby
An affectionate term for a loved one


We've Got So Far To Go
Still a long journey ahead
