So Far Away
Sultans Of Swing (dire Straits Sound-a-like) Lyrics

I wanna be on the stage again
I long to experience the thrill of performing live once more

And I wanna be on TV
I yearn to showcase my talent and be seen on television

Musical guest on late night talk shows
To be invited as a featured musician on popular late-night talk programs

Like I've always dreamed
Just as I have envisioned throughout my life

Let's try pickin it up again
Let us attempt to resume our musical journey

Now that we know what it cost
Having realized the sacrifices and challenges involved

Starting over is not so simple
Commencing anew is no easy task

Another love now lost
Yet another relationship has come to an end

Don't wanna give up on anything
I refuse to abandon any aspirations or endeavors

Don't want a reason to fail
Seeking no excuses for potential setbacks

I'm done bleeding on my guitar
I am finished pouring my emotions into playing the guitar

And tryna tip the scale
Attempting to bring about a significant change

Some cliché about the stars
A common saying regarding achieving fame or success

We're so close, yet so far…
Despite being near, our desired outcome eludes us

Why so serious?
Why should we be overly grave or earnest?

We were having fun
We were enjoying ourselves immensely

Blowing out our lungs
Exerting ourselves by singing passionately

Doing what we love
Engaging in the activities that bring us joy

Sometimes I feel un-American
Occasionally, I experience a sense of not conforming to societal norms

And I can't explain what I mean
I struggle to articulate the depth of my emotions

Our lives run by the filthy rich
Our existence dictated by the excessively wealthy

And old guys in D.C.
Additionally influenced by aged individuals in positions of power in Washington D.C.

That's all we needed to sing about
That was the sole subject we required for our songs

Jumping around with the crowds
Leaping energetically amidst the enthusiastic audience

We would feel like the biggest band
We would experience a sensation of being the most significant musical group

On the smallest stage around
Even on the most intimate performance platform

I wanna sleep in a van again
I desire to once more rest in the confined space of a van

I never thought I would say
This statement surprises even me

Flat tires and failing engines
Dealing with punctured tires and malfunctioning machinery

Nothing feels the same
Everything seems drastically different

Some cliché about the stars
Another trite saying related to achieving stardom

We're so close, yet so far…
Despite our proximity, our desired outcome remains distant

Why so serious?
Why should we be overly grave or earnest?

We were having fun
We were enjoying ourselves immensely

Blowing out our lungs
Exerting ourselves by singing passionately

Doing what we love
Engaging in the activities that bring us joy
