Far Away
Julia Sheer Feat. Kevin Littlefield Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You used to call me everyday
The words mean nothing
Without someone to say
Now I stand beside myself in the pouring rain
And I just want to see your face

When you're far away
I miss you
But I know you're here with me
When you're far away
I need you

I lie awake it's ten past three
This empty feeling
And baby I can't sleep
The only thing I left behind
A smile you can't see

(I need you, I need you)

When you're far away
I miss you
But time won't heal the pain
When you're far away
I need you

And I won't go back
And I can't go back
You're all I ever needed
I want you back
But you can't come back
You know I didn't mean it
I take it back
And still I pray
For one more chance
For one more day with you
With you.

When you're far away
I need you
When you're far away
I miss you
But I know you're here with me
(I know you're here with me)




When you're far away
I need you

She could sing warm-up notes for all I care, her voice will always be known as a voice that causes emotion to swell up inside of you. Add these powerful lyrics and you've got pure perfection...

when we love and we can't fight for this love !!! when we give up in the first obstruction !! when we tire to listen !! when we choose the easy choice !! when we keep the word and we remain in silence !! ...we look like a rough stone but in the reality we are like a candle that melts to keep it's light ...... strong or helpless ???
