Get this straight: I do not own Serial Experiments Lain, its characters,
concepts, or anything else related to it. Neither do I own the rights to
Carole King's music or "So Far Away". I've only watched 5 eps of SEL, so
don't flame me if anything is incorrect. I'm doing this for my own
amusement. A big thankies goes to Kris (etarnalmoon@aol.com) for letting me
watch her SEL tapes. val

So far away,
Geez, what am I doing? Why am I still thinking about Lain?
doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
She's dead, but it's like my heart is just waking up.
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
It's finally waking up and realizing that the hand I was supposed to be holding this whole time, the lips I was supposed to kissing this whole time, were Lain's.
Doesn't help to know you're just time away
She was there the whole time, fighting off the knights, going to Cyberia, and just being the teddy bearish girl I love.
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Before, it was so easy to confuse her with other people. But now, she's the one person I can't forget.
Holding you again could only do me good
If only I could find a way - any way - to be able to look in her eyes one last time and to tell her the three words my heart will never regret saying.
How I wish I could, but you're so far away
But I can't. She's dead.
One more song about movin' along the highway
Just when my mind starts thinking and fantasizing, she's dead. I can't help but think about what our lives would be like when we were older and married.
Can't say much of anything that's new
But chances of even the most plausible ideas are now gone.
If I could only work this life out my way
Maybe if I had killed myself instead, she would've lived.
I'd rather spend in bein' close to you.
At this point, I don't mind being dead. At least maybe then, I can see her in spirit.
But you're so far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place any more
She's so far away from me, but so close. I was obsessed with something she left my house a while back, but it doesn't matter anymore. Her picture is forever in my heart and mind.
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
I'm going to see Lain now.
Doesn't help to know you're so far away.
Goodbye.
Taro's mother came into his room to call him for dinner. Instead, she found her son's dead body, a pocketknife dripping with blood, and a note. She read it, fighting back the tears.
To whoever finds this:
I love Lain Iwakura. But she's dead. And now, so am I. I finally realized that I couldn't live without her. Goodbye.
