So Close, So Far, So Soon

So close
I can almost see it
Feel it, a tightness in my chest
When I remember what is coming
Only three more years before I'm on my own

 

How can I do it?
How can it be here?
I don't know how I feel

 

So far
Or so it seems to be
Sense it, the way the time will fly
It is coming faster than I think
Those three years will be over before I know it

 

How can I do it?
How can it be here?
I don't know how I feel

 

So soon
It's almost time to go
Do it, whatever it is
I don't know what it is
I'm expected to know. Soon I have to choose

 

How can I do it?
How can it be here?
I don't know how I feel

 

So many friendships
So many people
All going our separate ways
So hard to get together
So hard to find the time

 

How can I do it?
How can it be here?
I don't know how I feel

 

So close, so far, so soon.
