Lyrics for Out of Reach as interpreted by oofus

Out of Reach Lyrics
Long way from home
Lost by an echo never of known
I've got pictures to prove I was there
but you don't care

Here's me overseas
cross the pond by the dover peaks
I've smuggled myself into new nationalities
think you'd be proud of me

There's room to believe
Out of sight
Out of mind
Out of reach
Start over
it's no way to begin

Long way from home
Lost by an echo never have known
I've got pictures to prove I was there
but you don't care

There's room to believe
Out of sight
Out of Mind
Out of Reach
Start Over
Start Over
It's no way to begin

There's room to believe
Out of sight
Out of Mind
Out of Reach
Start Over
Start Over
It's no way to begin
way to begin
way to begin

it's like when people "disown" you or shun you and stuff...for doing something you love to do and they just don't understand or care.

I don't think either of you fully grasp the magnitude of this thing. Come on. It's always out of reach. I'm so pessimistic... the music depresses me in a sweet uplifting sort of emotional geyser/waterfall. I honestly can't make up my mind whether to smile or cry. Go Get Up Kids though. Everyone listen to Thursday!

He's away on tour. he really misses this person who he is singing about and he is taking pictures of everywhere he goes. but when he gets back this person didnt care about how he was there. and this person has found someone new

i think that this song is about a person who is from a single parent family... and he is talking about a father/mother who left and he feels they dont care about him..

This song is so amazing. I love the guitar/piano combination at the beginning. It was so beautifully written.
Doesn't is go, "out of sight, out of mind, out of reach"?

I love this song. The Get Up Kids are my favorite band because they are just amazing. To me, I always related to this song because it about some one that just shuts you out and you are trying to get them back but you can't. Well, that is just my little meaning to the song for me.

some consider it depressing... i don't know, my experience with this tune involves a hotel room filled with people jamming and we just all started playing and singing... guitar, bass and bongos... plus all those voices... it was incredible... we were away at a festival, and it made me think of my girlfriend back home. made me feel better. the lines "i've got pictures to prove i was there, but you don't care" seem so negative, but i took them as positive... you have all these pictures, "look where i was!" but she doesn't care "it doesn't matter, you're home now... i missed you so much" she doesn't care about the pictures... just you. that's touching. amazing song. this and i'll catch you being my two personal fav guk songs. check out bright eyes.

This song is actually quite depressing, but maybe you need to be depressed to know it. I'd listened to this song first about a year ago and I never got what it was about. Then, few weeks ago, I listened to it again because I was feeling really depressed, and I think I got it. In my opinion, it's just about being depressed. You don't feel normal, or like you're at home, and you're so far from it, a "Long way from home" And you've got all these pictures of when you were happy, to prove that you actually felt that emotion before. But it seems that no one cares. That's just my opinion though, this is one of the best songs out there.

this song makes me cry...its something you can wallow in your depression with, some think its unhealthy, but i think it helps like nothing else...i take it as someone not giving a shit about you or what you do or where you go...itslike youre never good enough. thats my perception~ta ta
