Slightly Out Of Reach Lyrics - Singles - James Labrie

Working so hard, what are you getting out of this 

Commitment, have many nice things 

But there's no time to take a rest 

And you're spent 

In the moment you never seem to be 

That time will come 

Taken from those 

You should be here, you look on 

But you're not part of anything there 

The days and the years are passing 

Quite the man with your worldly possessions 

The crown upon you in all its glory 

Driven around down these same ole roads 

You've known far too long 

Turning around's not an option in front of you 

You're too far gone 

And all the signs are warning him 

A dead end street 

Taken from those 

You should be here, looking on 

But you're not part of anything there 

The days and the years have passed you 

Getting old with your worldly possessions 

The crown upon you in all its glory 

Not sure that you know any more 

What you feel right now 

To look back when you dreamed 

That you'd have everything you want 

It's so hard to just to get through 

So much of the time 

You were not here, you looked on 

But were not part of anything there 

The days and the years have passed you 

Now you're old 

All your worldly possessions crumbling 

Now all of your time is spent there 

They moved on 

And they're not part of anything here 

The days and the years have passed you 

And you're old with your worldly possessions 

All crumbling 'round you and all its glory
