Zo ver weg

Ben Destrycker

Lyrics Translation

Passionele nachten in het heetste van de strijd
Tedere momenten die iedereen ons benijd
We staan hier voor een tweesprong en weten niet waarheen
Ach, zouden we niet beter blind zijn voor de wereld om ons heen


refrain:
Want ik wil jou schouder om op te huilen
Jouw huis om in te schuilen
Maar alles wat ik wil lijkt zover weg, zover weg van mij
Maar alles wat ik wil lijkt zover weg


Zonde van de tijd, maar wisten wij toen veel
We waren net achttien en hadden nog niet veel gezien
We deden alles samen, nooit kon het echt kapot
Ja, in al onze dromen, stak de sleutel op het slot


refrain


Zoveel jaren later en zoveel meer gebeurd
We voelen het nog steeds, maar velen hebben 't afgekeurd
Ach, laat ze nu maar praten, laat ze nu maar doen
We doen nu wat we voelen en denken nog veel aan toen


refrain

[Verse 1]
Passionate nights in the fury of the battle
Tender moments that everyone is jealous of
We're standing at a crossroads and don't know where to go
Oh, wouldn't it be better to be blind to the world around us?

[Chorus]
Because I want your shoulder to cry on
Your home to take shelter in
But everything I want seems so far away
So far away from me
But everything I want seems so far away

[Verse 2]
A waste of time but little did we know
We were just eighteen and hadn't seen much yet
We did everything together, it was never really enough
Yeah, in all our dreams the key was on the lock

[Chorus]
Because I want your shoulder to cry on
Your home to take shelter in
But everything I want seems so far away
So far away from me
But everything I want seems so far away

[Verse 3]
Now, so many years later and so much more has happened
We still feel the same, but many have disapproved
Oh, just let them talk, just let them go ahead
We now act on how we feel and still often think back to then

[Chorus]
Because I want your shoulder to cry on
Your home to take shelter in
But everything I want seems so far away
Everything I want seems so far away
So far away from me
But everything I want seems so far away
