"The Distance" lyrics

Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember
How you were gonna stay free?
But they had plans for you
And things to do
The same thing goes for me
Well, well, I never
Saw it coming to me
But when I turned around to look at you
It was all that I could do

To see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I'm no different
Feeling like the only one

In the beginning
Everything was so close
And it seemed that everywhere you go
Everybody knows

You don't remember
What you wanted to be
Well, they went 'round the class
And you were last
The clock was fast
So no one asked

To see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I'm no different
Feeling like the only one

Well, how long can you run?
How far and what for?
How far will you run
To get whatever you're after
Year after year after year

Well, I've been looking
But I still can't see
How we get from "A" to "B" to "C"
And feel like we should be

Well, I've been running
But I've been running around
Now there's nothing left for me to do
But sit around and see the view

And see the distance
Everybody wants to run
And I'm no different
Feeling like the only one

Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
