Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see you but we′ll make a sound
It hurts to say it's over now
I know you wanted somethin′ else
That night, it's all I think about
You break my heart and say my name
Don't laugh at me it′s such a shame
Don′t know if I remember you ooh ooh
But I can't feel you now

Yeah
It′s such a shame, what's left to blame now
It′s such a shame
It's such a shame

I see through the clouds
So far away from here
So far away from you
I see through the clouds
So far away from here
So far away from you

Ooh oh yeah

I can see me lying underground
I′ll stay above it's over now
Won't hate myself for loving you
′Cause I don′t feel you now
It's such a shame, what′s left to blame now
It's such a shame

I see through the clouds
So far away from here
So far away from you
I see through the clouds
So far away from here
So far away from you

I see through the clouds (so far)
So far away
From here (far away)
From ooh
Oh yeah
Oh ohh

So far away, yeah
So far, so far
