I Can't Get There from Here - Alan Parsons

Seize the day, that is what you always told me

Find a way, you would say as you would hold me

Get away from here, it’s all so clear you can’t stay

Long ago, we were old enough to love but, not to know

There were dreams we kept inside but didn’t show

And now, we don’t know how to let go

I can’t get there from here

And, you can’t get here from there

And we can’t go anywhere

As long as we’re still standing on this road that leads nowhere

Touch the sky

If you don’t, when you grow old you’ll wonder why

You did just what you were told

No one will cry for you if all you do is long to fly

I can see our final curtain falling, let it be

Listen to the voices calling out to all who hear

Don’t let your fear push life aside

I can’t get there from here

And, you can’t get here from there

And we can’t go anywhere

As long as we’re still standing on this road that leads nowhere

But, out there it gleams far beyond all the things we know

The world of our dreams calling to us

But, we don’t go

I can’t get there from here

And, you can’t get here from there

And we can’t go anywhere

As long as we’re still standing on the road that leads nowhere

The road that leads nowhere
