So far away
Haley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting in a car and I guess it's safe to say
I don't wanna go back out from where I came
Open up my eyes for a moment and I see
Everything around from is staring back at me

Sitting out here and time is standing still
Waiting in this cube with an hour left to kill
All my life they were saying it's my face
But I'm about to get out of this fate

Live for the night
Suffer the day
Run from the light
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

So far away

Live for the night
Suffer the day
Run from the light
So far away
So far away

So far away

Live for the night
Suffer the day
Run from the light




So far away
So far away
