this is my life
it's not what it was before
all these feelings i've shared
and these are my dreams
that i'd never lived before
somebody shake me
cause i must be sleeping

now that we're here
it's so far away
all the struggle we thought was in vain
all the mistakes one life contained
they all finally start to go away
now that we're here it's so far away
and i feel like i can face the day
i can forgive
and i'm not ashamed to be the person that i am today

these are my words
that i've never said before
"i think i'm doing okay"
and this is the smile
that i've never shown before

i'm so afraid of waking
please don't shake me
afraid of waking
please don't shake me

- staind, "so far away"
