Staring at the white above
Can't tell if I'm alive or am I dead?
Or is it in my head?
Where'd I go wrong?
Staring at the white above
One day I closed my eyes and here I am
A cold, unhappy man
I've come to realize that the life I have I hate
The pulse I need is slowly fading
Until I've lost it all
I've been waiting for an inspiration
For a chance I never got to take
Before it's much too late
Where'd I go wrong?
[Chorus]
Where's the boy that used to run?
Could it be he's up and gone away?
He seems so far away (he seems so far away-ay)
And all the things I could have done
Could it be they've up and gone away
They seem to far away (they seem so far away-ay)
It feels as if the boy in me has
Left and been replaced with a cheap and bitter
Imposter of myself
I must find the one that used to be
Approach him slow and don't be afraid to say
"Can he come out and play?"
Where'd I go wrong?
[Chorus]
Staring at the sky above
I found a chance I'm finally going to take
I've learned from my mistakes
Where'd I go wrong?
[Chorus]
Where'd I go wrong?
Where'd I go wrong?
Can't tell if I'm alive or am I dead?
Or is it in my head?
Where'd I go wrong?
Staring at the white above
One day I closed my eyes and here I am
A cold, unhappy man
I've come to realize that the life I have I hate
The pulse I need is slowly fading
Until I've lost it all
I've been waiting for an inspiration
For a chance I never got to take
Before it's much too late
Where'd I go wrong?
[Chorus]
Where's the boy that used to run?
Could it be he's up and gone away?
He seems so far away (he seems so far away-ay)
And all the things I could have done
Could it be they've up and gone away
They seem to far away (they seem so far away-ay)
It feels as if the boy in me has
Left and been replaced with a cheap and bitter
Imposter of myself
I must find the one that used to be
Approach him slow and don't be afraid to say
"Can he come out and play?"
Where'd I go wrong?
[Chorus]
Staring at the sky above
I found a chance I'm finally going to take
I've learned from my mistakes
Where'd I go wrong?
[Chorus]
Where'd I go wrong?
Where'd I go wrong?

- That's where the spirit visits him in bed and he says things like "am I dead" and "you don't exist but in my mind...as an undigested piece of beef, etc.."
And remember scrooge was a happy kid when young, but now he's become "cheap and bitter, a cold unhappy man" Hey I don't know if Doug would really write a song about " A christmas carol" but the lyrics fit!
