So Far From Anywhere Songtext

It's another hotel room I don't want to be in This one has white walls and calico curtains The last one had yellow walls and flesh-colored phones And when I tried to call you, you were still not home And as usual, I start wondering, where could you be? Perhaps you're just a figment of my thirsty memory And sometimes I feel like I'm so far from anywhere So far from anywhere Like someplace I can't recall When I get home, will I know that I'm really there? How will I know I'm there? So far from anywhere at all There's a man in the next room, he's been there for days He's blasting the TV, I think he might be crazy Keeps yelling, "You're so full of it, you bloody bunch a' fools!" And I think he must be talking to the people on the news And I've written you a letter, but I'm wondering what for, 'Cause I really don't remember what you look like anymore And sometimes I feel like I'm so far from anywhere So far from anywhere Everyone looks awful small When I get home, will I know that I'm really there? How will I know I'm there? So far from anywhere at all I'm sitting by the window, looking down at the clouds Thinking 'bout Siberia, and then I say out loud to the Texan sitting next to me, "It must have been so cold Out there fixing oil wells where no one dares to go." And he smiles that kind of smile that seems connected to his soul And I have to look away, don't ask me why, 'cause I don't know Sometimes I feel like I'm so far from anywhere So far from anywhere Light years from our fireball When I get home, will I know that I'm really there? How will I know I'm home? So far from anywhere at all
