Far From Home
Ida Carlsson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said it was one day to break
You said it was one need shine
You wanted me to fall to rise
To get back on my feet again
But you never told me how

You said it ain't easy everytime
Sometimes it's god damn hard
You wanted me to fall to rise
To get back on my feet again
But you never told me how

Nothing lasts forever
Should I go any further

Far from home
I'm dancing on my own
What's right, what's wrong
In a fucked up world when you're young
So please tell me what should I do
Tell me something

Now I'm walking in under
Sinking deeper every turn
You wanted me to fall
To rise to get back on my feet again
But you never told me how

Nothing lasts forever
Should I go any further

Far from home
I'm dancing on my own
What's right, what's wrong
In a fucked up world when you're young
So please tell me what should I do
Tell me something

Far from home
Goodbye so long
I'm on my own
Now I'm gone

Far from home
Goodbye so long
I'm on my own
Now I'm gone

Far from home
I'm dancing on my own
What's right, what's wrong
In a fucked up world when you're young
So please tell me what should I do
Tell me something

Far from home
I'm dancing on my own
What's right, what's wrong




In a fucked up world when you're young
So please tell me what should I do
