FAR AWAY
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too long, too late, who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance, just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know you know, you know
That I love you I have loved you all along and I miss you
Been far away for far too long
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all I'd give for us
Give anything, but I won't give up
'Cause you know you know, you know
That I love you I have loved you all along and I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore
So far away, so far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away, so far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted, I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed, I need to hear you say
That I love you, I have loved you all along
And I forgive you, for being away for far too long
So keep breathing, 'cause I'm not leaving
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing, 'cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it, hold on to me and
Never let me go, keep breathing
Hold on to me and never let me go (Keep breathing)
Hold on to me and never let me go
The song "Far Away" by Nickelback is a mournful plea from a man to his lover who he has been separated from for far too long. The lyrics suggest that the two of them have experienced a lot of pain and hurt in their time apart, and the singer is begging for a chance to start over again. He acknowledges that he has made mistakes, has been too late, and hasn't treated his lover well, but he also confesses that he has always loved her and misses her terribly. He wants one last chance to dance with her, to hold her hand and to be with her until the end.
The song is a moving piece about love, distance, and the pain of missing someone. The singer is vulnerable and honest, admitting that he has been far too absent in his lover's life and promising to never leave her again. The chorus, with its repetition of the phrase "I have loved you all along," is particularly poignant, capturing the depth of the singer's feelings for his lover and his regret for not showing it sooner. Although the song is melancholy, it ends on a hopeful note, with the singer urging his lover to hold on to him and never let him go.
