By Walter Egan and Chris James

How come everyone says we're fine
It looks so different here inside
Too many nights we fuss and fight
A whole lotta love gets pushed aside

Far and away, far and away you're the best I ever had
But far and away is where I want to be
When close to you just feels so bad, feels so sad.

You and I we've come so far
We still don't know just who we are
Sometimes I feel like running away
Rather than face what I should say

Chorus

Standing at the crossroads, which way should I turn
Should I try to make amends
Or let my bridges burn, bridges burn

Based on everything we've been through
I wish I could end up with you
But I can't help the way I feel
And other roads hold their appeal

Chorus
