FAR AWAY
►Nickelback Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too long, too late, who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance, just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know, you know, you know
I love you, I have loved you all along and I miss you
Been far away for far too long
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask, "Last chance for one last dance?"
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all I'd give for us
Give anything, but I won't give up
'Cause you know you know, you know
I love you, I have loved you all along and I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore
So far away, so far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away, so far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted, I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed, I need to hear you say
I love you (I love you), I have loved you all along
And I forgive you (I forgive you) for being away for far too long
So keep breathing, 'cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it, hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing, 'cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it, hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and never let me go
The lyrics of Nickelback's song "Far Away" speak of a love that has been apart for far too long. The remorseful tone of the song shows that the singer has made mistakes in the relationship and wishes to make things right. He acknowledges the fact that he took too long to realize the gravity of the situation, and he admits to misusing the time and space that he had with his loved one. He asks for one last chance, one last dance, as he cannot bear to be without her.
The chorus of the song speaks of his love for her and how he has loved her all along, regardless of the distance between them. He dreams of being with her and cannot let go of the hope that she will come back to him. He cannot bear the thought of losing her, and he pleads with her to hold on to him and never let go.
The lyrics create an emotional turmoil within the listener as the singer's pain and regret are palpable. The song is a testament to the power of love and how it can transcend time and distance. It is a plea to hold on to the people we love and never let them go, no matter how tough the situation gets.

I agree. These guys can turn up the amps and vibrate goat pee into gasoline.
I'm a longtime fan of them, and Theory, and Shinedown and Saving Able. [And I'm 57 and cut my teeth to AC/DC and Van Halen in 9th grade in 1980.
When I fire up my old 69 Charger, Nickelback is just as great to hear pumping outta the the Cerwin Vega's as Molly Hatchet or Bad Company.
Fierce Spirit is conveyed across many mediums. Just listen to 'Roar' from Katy Perry. There's something about good music that rises above genre'.
Music that makes you wanna move comes in all stripes. Listen to your heartbeat when something good is on the box.... it tries to carry you away.
Keep Rockin!!

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease
And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose
Ooooh
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed,
While you put me to the test
I like the wine stains on your dress
I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why
Why not before, you never tried
Gone for good, and this is it)
I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease
And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why)
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
(Now I did, you wonder why
Why not before, you never tried
Gone for good, and this is it)

@erindiazmclaughlin
Oh good God!!! So much I could say about that whole scenario just layed out there. Truck Driver rocking out to this particular song over and over. I hope that you're a good dude. I've seen way to many Investigation Discovery shows. The ID Channel. Forgive me though. I did not want to be insulting. Without you men and women traveling all over. Missing your family and friends in order to deliver the food or items people need all over the country. Thank you for that.
