Yeah
La-di-da-di-da, yeah (whoa whoa, whoa whoa
(Whoa whoa whoa yeah) Yeah
Oh-ooh, yeah
(Whoa whoa, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, yeah) 
Ohh-ooh, yeah yeah

So far, so far
You're slipping away, away
You're slipping away from the life and the love we made
Baby, I'm so afraid
you're so far, so far, so far (oh yeah, baby)
You're slipping away, away
You're slipping right out of my grasp
And you're fading fast it seems
You know you're slipping away from me

I keep on reaching and I
I keep on trying
But you never even hold me
And it seems like you don't know me, baby
I keep on yearning and I
I guess I'm learning
That it's just a losing fight
'Cause there's no passion in your eyes

So far, so far (no, no, no, no, baby)
You're slipping away, away (yeah)
Slipping away from the life and the love we made
Baby, I'm so afraid
You're so far, so far, so far (you're)
You're slipping away, away
Slipping right out of my grasp
And you're fading fast it seems
You know you're slipping away from me

I keep denying that our
Our love is dying
But it's all a big charade
And it's a fruitless game to play
I can't remember when you
You last were tender
And it's always touch and go
The silence chills me to the bone

So far, so far (yeah, yeah)
You're slipping away, away
You're slipping away from the life and the love we made
Baby, I'm so afraid
You're so far, so far, so far
You're slipping away, away
you're slipping right out of my grasp
And you're fading fast it seems
you know you're slipping away from me
Away, away, away, away, away yeah
(Whoa whoa, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, yeah) 
Hey yeah

Further, further (further, further)
Ooh, yeah
(Whoa whoa, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, yeah) 
You're so far

Time after time I reach for you
Try and I try but you're so aloof
Where is the boy that you used to be? (hey)
Baby, you're slipping away from me (where, you're so far)

Time after time I reach for you
Try and I try but you're so aloof (from me baby, baby)
Where is the boy that you used to be? (oh, babe)
Baby, you're slipping away from me 

You're so far
So far, so far, you're slipping away, away
Slipping away from what we had
Truly, I just don't understand
You're so far, so far, so far
You're slipping away, away (no, no)
You're slipping right out of my grasp
and you're fading fast it seems
You know you're slipping away from me

Time after time I reach for you (so far, so far)
Try and I try but you're so aloof (you're slipping away, away)
Where is the boy that you used to be? (ohh)
Baby, you're slipping away from me (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Time after time I reach for you (so far, so far)
Try and I try but you're so aloof (you're slipping away, away)
Where is the boy that you used to be?
Baby, you're slipping away from me (baby, baby, baby, baby, I)

Time after time I reach for you (so far, so far)
Try and I try but you're so aloof (you're slipping away, away)
Where is the boy that you used to be? (oh whoa, ay)
Baby, you're slipping away from me

Time after time I reach for you (so far, so far)
Try and I try but you're so aloof (you're slipping away, away)
Where is the boy that you used to be? (so far)
Baby, you're slipping away from me (ohh)

Time after time I reach for you (so far, so far)
