Too Far

from Curtains by Paris Street

/

about

A song about honesty getting in the way of role-playing.

lyrics

She asked me how far away was my place,
I said, “It’s not too far - you know it’s not too far.”
“Maybe we should start heading out that way,
If it’s not too far.” “No, it’s not too far.”

We played by the rules, we accepted our roles
I acted my part to a T
Though nothing was certain until the sun
Came through the blinds to show
That the scene was over

But in that morning’s haze we were wondering
If we went too far - if we went too far
“Did you really mean those words that you said to me?”
Did we go too far?” “I think we went too far.”

And it didn’t take long for everything to change
Our care-free encounters were gone
Replaced with a tension that soon became
Too much to bear
The scene was now far from over

We can claim it was nothing - just part of the game
We can lie to ourselves if it’s not too late
And convince each other that things can be
Just as before -
The scene can be started over

But, in the end, I fell back on my selfish ways
‘Cause we went too far - yeah, we went too far
“How can you act like it was just another day?”
“It’s not that hard - no, it’s not that hard.”
