This land is real, real as the next man  This land is there for all to see  You're standing there so cold and calm  You stand so close to me    And you out there can keep away  There's nothing owed to you  All I want's to lose myself and stay so close to you    The river is cruel its pipes are sprayed with long forgotten names  Big boys now with kids whose lives will never feel the same  If you out there don't get what I say, there's nothing owed to you  To feel that way is born inside no matter what you do    I wonder how my fortune fell  When everything began to melt  The case I had for wasting that  That never came  I want to walk away again  Away again  Away again  There to wonder how those things will never be  Searching for that grand illusion fools have called the key  If you don't care just keep away, how can I give hope to you  Nearer now are both our futures, me, our hearts and you    And yet all I want is to lose myself and stay so close to you  All I want is to stay so close to you
