Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind I have so much to say but you're so far away Plans of what our futures hold Foolish lies of growing old It seems we're so invincible The truth is so cold A final song, a last request A perfect chapter laid at rest Now and then I try to find A place in my mind Where you can stay You can stay awake forever How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind I have so much to say but you're so far away Sleep tight I'm not afraid (not afraid) The ones that we love are here with me Lay away a place for me (place for me) 'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way To live eternally How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay When I have so much to say and you're so far away I love you, you were ready, the pain is strong and urges rise But I'll see you when He let's me Your pain is gone, your hands untied So far away And I need you to know So far away And I need you to, need you to know

[@princevegeta5499]

It's moments like these that make you guys so great as a band and makes me proud to be a fan amd consider you my favorite band. The set was done, you weren't supposed to play another song. But a little boy wanted to hear So Far Away, so you say you'll do the first verse. And you just end up doing the whole song anyway just for him. Another example, I went to Philly to see you guys with Metallica and Volbeat. And I love both Metallica and Volbeat but went to see you. And you guys had to cancel cause of Brian's wife going into labor. Most bands you'd see would just have a tech replace a band mate if they can't do it, but you didn't. The entire band went with him to be there for his wife instead of just continueing on without him. That is why in my opinion, you guys are the greatest band alive today.

"When I have so much to say, you are so far away". This is probably the most painful line in a song. I recently lost my friend with whom I had a fight, I stopped talking to him even though he kept trying to mend the holes, and he went to the heavens after a few months. Everyday I wake up with this guilt of not speaking with him and the fact that I will never be able to just kills me from within. Guys, never hold a grudge, communicate and sort things out, you never know when a temporary resentment might turn into a lifelong regret.

[@pabloprxds]

[@nara2587]

I used to think of this song as a beautiful tribute to their friend the Rev, it had no personal meaning until recently... I lost my best friend, whose broken heart I tried to heal with all that i could, about 2 months ago. Besides being my best friend who could see me and love me the way I was, and help me no matter how broken he was, he was also somehow my hope, my love and he died not knowing (I think) what he truly meant to me and how much I loved him, I tried to show him wihout words because I couldn't say it for a stupid pride. To this day I keep discovering that I also meant something important to him... Our last conversation was like this, I stopped talking to him because I was upset with something so silly... The next day, he did it. So it's real, the lines "And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay, when I have so much to say and you're so far away" hurt and I can't stop crying when I listen to this song. This is undoubtedly my biggest regret and will be, like you said, lifelong.

Good for you! I'm 23, got into them when I was a kid, been playing guitar for 16 years and learned a few of their songs as well. Saw them live in 2011.

Check out staind, lifehouse and creed, they're other great bands that have songs with a similar sound and feel.

emanuele barrovecchio literally on the spot, unrehearsed, no in-ear monitors, music or anything for a song they probably haven’t played in a few years due to how personal the song is.
