lyrics

So Far Away © Brian Straub 12/30/10

There’s something between me and everything I see
It’s like a wall of glass that I just can’t get past
There’s something between me and everyone I know
They say there’s nothing there but it’s something in the air
A dot on the horizon I feel so far away
A ship out at sea hoping to make it home someday

There’s something between me and who I want to be
There’s a stranger in my skin who the hell let him in
There’s a distance between me and all the things I know
Things that seemed to me concrete fall and shatter at my feet
A dot on the horizon I feel so far away
A ship lost at sea hoping to make it home someday

There’s something between me and where I want to be
I want to be here when I’m there and there when I’m here
There’s something between me and everything I want
I can see it in my mind but I find it hard to find
A dot on the horizon I feel so far away
A ship on the sea hoping to make it home someday

Repeat first two last lines

My two previous bands, Armadillo Borealis and Secondhand Sunday, performed and recorded some of my songs that are represented here. This year (2016), I started Dog House Prayers and began documenting more of my songs through home recording. ... more

This is a home recording. Throwing my time and energy into making this record was an emotional breakthrough for me at a low point in my life, giving me drive and purpose. Braintwang
