I was 18 when I wrote Too Far Gone. I had just graduated high school my true talent was art but the music was my passion. I was also a good writer because I used to love to write songs and poetry and short stories. They really do not offer many scholarships in art and music as they really are competitive fields that really do not pay well unless you become famous.
I was offered a scholarship in writing though I wish I taken that because I always got A’s in it and was recommended by my teachers. Being from a poor family we never talked about college and my passion was music so I followed it.
I was really too young to have wrote a song like this maybe I should have thought about it before making some poor decisions. I could see myself writing it now that I have lived a life made mistakes and have some regrets. I never regretted following my dream there are some regrets along the way I wish I could go back and change.
I took a basic concept and ran with it. This song could relate to anyone who took the wrong turn. Said yes when they should have said no or no when they should have said yes. We have one life to live, live it with the least regrets.
TOO FAR GONE
Falling day turns to black.
I’m spinning and I’m dawning but I can’t turn back.
I’m out on a limb because I want to see,
Instinct protection lacks in me.
My perfect circle is coming,
Through my whole story comes my dream.
Too far, I have gone too far
To turn back now.
Too far, I have gone too far,
I wonder how.
Too far, I have gone too far
To turn back now.
Too far, I have gone too far,
I wonder how.
I have no reason to reason why.
My past is an echo, my past is a dream,
It cannot be true, it cannot seem.
My image has faded, it’s part of a past.
All that is left is the shadow it casts.
To turn back now.
Too far, I have gone too far,
I wonder how.
Too far, I have gone too far
To turn back now.
Too far, I have gone too far,
I wonder how.
Standing in the rain,
Feeling so much shame,
Alone now I cannot bare,
Why should I even care?
Took the wrong path that led to no end,
Going in circles and going nowhere.
I’ve played the king and I’ve played the fool.
I’ve done all the wrong things that a man could do.
I can’t stop these feelings, things aren’t the same.
I admit my wrongs because I am the one to blame.
To turn back now.
Too far, I have gone too far,
I wonder how.
Too far, I have gone too far
To turn back now.
Too far, I have gone too far,
I wonder how.
