You've Got So Far To Go Lyrics
So tonight I'll raise my glass to us
'cause we've talked so much I think we filled this ashtray twice,
and I'm pretty sure we emptied every bottle in the place, so
Let's walk home, let's be afraid.
I wanna grab you by the arms and kiss you so hard.
Let's do it right under the streetlight.
I want it now, somehow I forgot how.
Forgot you've got so far to go.
Way to go, way to go
Forgot you've got so far to go.
And I watched all the lights go dim when your eyes opened.
Well I can't believe you showed up, what do I do now?
It's last call, time to go.
But before we say goodnight....
I wanna grab you by the arms and kiss you so hard.
Let's do it right under the streetlight.
I want it now, somehow I forgot how.
Forgot you've got so far to go.
Way to go, way to go
Forgot you've got so far to go.
Forgot you've got so far, you've got so far to go.
Forgot you've got so far, you've got so far to go.
Forgot you've got so far, you've got so far to go.
Forgot you've got so far, you've got so far to go.

Lol, Box Car only use the same chord progression is all.
But the songs are sooo different.
I love this song atm.

Sounds to me like it's about a guy who instantly falls in love with a girl. Then, at the end of their first night they met he wants to 'kiss her so hard' because he is so much in love with her already. But then he realizes she has a far way to go before she feels the same for him, as it is only their first night meeting.

Dude, this is such a great song! It's about completely hitting it off with someone, and completely falling for them, and trying to get up the nerve to makea move. I think it really captures the nervousness, excitement, and intensity of a first kiss you're really pumped for.

hopeless romantic, If a guy even attempted to say what the song portrays to me..oh my.. so beautiful.

wow....this song blows me out of the 'water'....every time i hear it or read the lyrics i just get flashbacks, similar to 'nam, only not as many slanted eyes. everyone that knows me knows ive said that alot, but its the only way to describe it. this group as awesome talent and i cant wait for more stuff from them.

this is the first song i ever heard from these guys, wow this is really really good. the lyrics are so good. it is a beautiful song.

i love alk3 so much, this song was one of the first i loved. it's so sad boxcar racer ripped off this riff...

this is my all time favorite alkaline trio song! it just reminds you of that perfect date with that perfect person ending with that anxiously awaited perfect kiss but it's sad because even though he loves this girl she's not quite ready and he realizes that.

as much as i agree with the "perfect date, perfect guy" bit, i think everyone is missing the refrain "forgot you've got so far to go.." i think this part changes the nature of the song from the "perfect date" mentality compltetely. i belive the song is about getting caught up in the moment of things and not realizing that someone isnt as great as you thought.

"i wanna grab you by the arm and kiss you so hard"....ahhh, sweetnes. but the refrain is saying "yeah go boy! she digs you....but wait i just met this chick....slow down"
