Land Called Far Away
Colbie Caillat Lyrics

When I was a little girl I never was a princess type
As a child, I didn't aspire to be like the typical princess character in fairy tales.

I didn't do fairy tales or wish on stars at night
I didn't believe in the fantasy and magic of fairy tales, or think that wishing on stars would make them come true.

All the other girls are living in make believe
Other girls around me were caught up in the illusion and fantasy of fairy tales.

Searching for the one boy of their dreams
They were searching for their ideal romantic partner, the one who fulfilled all their dreams and expectations.

Everywhere I go see a trail of broken hearts
In my experiences, I see many people who have experienced heartbreak in their romantic relationships.

And one by one I watch them fall apart
One by one, I see these relationships crumble and end in pain.

I told myself I won't let that be me
I made a conscious decision to not let myself fall into the same pattern of heartbreak and disappointment in romance.

I'll take my time for ever after happily
I will be patient and take my time to find the right person to spend my life with, and be happy forever after with them.

I'll save my love for love in a land called far away
Until I find the right person to love and share my life with, I will hold onto my love and wait for that special someone in a distant place and time.

Until then well, love, your heart's gonna have to wait
Until that time comes, I won't give my heart to just anyone, and they will have to wait for me to be ready to give them my love.

When I find my love that I will love every day
When I finally find the right person for me, I will love them unconditionally, every single day.

Ooh ooh, where hearts don't have to break
In this distant land of love, hearts will not have to experience the pain and heartbreak that often accompanies romance in our world.

And I'll stay in love in a land called far away
When I find this perfect love, I will stay in it forever, in this far away and idealized place called love.

Run along little boy, you're just distracting me
I don't want to be distracted by any potential romantic interests that aren't the right fit for me, so I discourage them from pursuing me.

I've got things to learn and places I should be
I have other things in my life that I need to focus on and explore before I'm ready to commit to a romantic relationship.

Though I appreciate the way you feel for me
I am grateful for the attention and affection I receive from others, even if I'm not ready to pursue a romantic relationship with them.

Truth is I'm miles away from feeling that kind of thing
The reality is that I am far from being ready to develop romantic feelings for anyone at this point in my life.

I'll be still til the day love comes calling me
I will patiently wait until the right person and the right love comes to find me.
