A Little Too Far

Do you rememberLook at meAt all the things we said we'd beWe'd beat the houseWe'd push the oddsWe'd take it all we had the cardsWith years to burnAnd years to trashLivin' life based on flashBut somehow reaching for the starsI think we went a bit too farGot to get backGot to get backGot to get backI never meant to take it this farGot to get backGot to get backGot to get backWhen everything you touch turns goldCan weigh you downCan make you oldWhen metal doesn't ring the sameReaction from inside your brainAnd all the years we offered upTo gods who couldn't get enoughThough we still stay up all nightThe mornings aren't quite as brightGot to get backGot to get backGot to get backI never meant to take it this farGot to get backGot to get backGot to get backAnd all those things we thought we learnedAs we watch our bridges burnWhile standing in the afterglowI guess we gave them quite a showAnd who's to say what it's aboutWhen John Wayne caught the last train outAnd Spock and Kirk have had enoughAnd no one's left to beam me upGot to get backGot to get backGot to get backI never meant to take it this farGot to get backGot to get backGot to get backI never meant to take it this farYeahOh hoI never meant to take it this far
