Three Miles Out – Why lyrics

WHEN I THINK OF ALL THE TIMES
TO GET AHEAD I LEFT BEHIND,
THE THINGS THAT HELP TO GET ME TO THIS PLACE
ALTHOUGH THEY SEEM TO FADE AWAY,
I KNOW THAT THERE WILL COME A DAY,
WHERE SOMETHING WILL REMIND ME OF A FACE

WE PLAN AND SCHEME AND ORGANIZE,
MAKE LISTS AND PRIORATIZE,
THE TIME THAT'S SO IMPORTANT EVERYDAY
AND WHEN IT'S GONE IT'S GONE FOR GOOD,
I WONDER IF WE EVER WOULD,
WISH THAT WE HAD GONE ANOTHER WAY

WHY WHY

** I STOPPED A WHILE SO I COULD TRY,
TRY TO FIND MY PEACE OF MIND
AND WHEN I STOPPED I WATCHED IT PASS ME BY

I STOPPED TO TURN AROUND AND SEE,
THINGS FROM MY PAST THAT FOLLOW ME,
JUST TO HAVE THEM FADE BEFORE MY EYES
