Lyrics I Can't Get There from Here - Alan Parsons

I Can't Get There from Here

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
