I am trying to reach
but the length of my arm,
it restrains me.
You wait there, just beyond my grasp.
Is it really the length of my arm I should blame?
Or is it that damn wall in my way?
Stretching far and wide and forever high.
Black painted brick, laughing at me.
Black painted brick, loving my struggle.
I am trying to reach
but that damn wall,
it restrains me.
You linger there, just beyond my grasp.
Is it really that damn wall I should blame?
Or is it that chain that's in my way?
Gripping, grasping to my legs.
Rust red chain, mocking me.
Rust red chain, imprison me.
I am trying to reach
but that rusty chain,
it restrains me.
You turn to leave, hopelessly out of my grasp.
Is it really that chain that's to blame?
Or is it my lost will that's in my way?
Hope keeps falling like water to drain.
Excepted defeat, taking over me.
Excepted defeat, win at losing.
I stopped trying to reach
but I know deep inside,
it was I that restrained me.
And you, you will always be,
Just Beyond My Grasp.
