So Far Away
Mayday Parade Lyrics

She's in love
She has fallen in love

And the world gets blurry
Her feelings of love are so strong that it distracts her from what's happening around her

She makes mistakes
Because she is still young and naive, she does not always make the best decisions

And she's in no hurry to grow up
She does not want to leave her childhood behind and face the responsibilities of adulthood yet

'Cause grownups they don't understand her
She feels like the adults in her life cannot relate to her and her problems

Well it's a big, big world out there
The world is vast and full of opportunities and challenges

But she's not scared
Despite the enormity of the world, she is not afraid to face it

She thinks that nobody cares about her problems
She feels like she is alone in her struggles and that no one empathizes with her

And she's probably right
She is likely correct in thinking that others do not understand her situation

But it's alright
It will be okay

You'll be fine
Everything will work out in the end

If you just stay with me
As long as she has someone who supports her, she will be okay

She finds hope in the strangest places
Despite her circumstances, she is able to find positivity in unexpected places

She reads her books
Reading gives her a sense of comfort and escape from her problems

And she knows the faces of everyone
She is aware of the people who have shown her kindness and compassion

That ever said she's alone
The people who have acknowledged her feelings of loneliness and provided support

She knows every word to the saddest songs
She relates to the emotions expressed in melancholic music

And she sings along
She expresses her own sadness through singing

Though her friends all tell her
Despite her loved ones discouraging her

That she can't sing
They do not believe in her abilities

She's eighteen
She is still very young

Much too young to know what a kiss like that would mean
Her inexperience makes her naive about the consequences of her actions

But her lips, they weren't no stranger to the touch
She has kissed before and is familiar with physical intimacy

And she liked it way too much
She enjoyed the experience more than she should have

She never listened to a word her daddy told her
She has rebelled against her father's advice

She finds company with her cigarettes
Smoking is a habit she turns to for comfort when she is feeling alone

And feels alone when the sunset...
She experiences loneliness during quiet moments

And please
She is pleading

Don't let this be love
She does not want to admit that what she feels is love

Or can it be enough?
She wonders if the intensity of her feelings can be enough to sustain her happiness

This college town is too small for both of us
She feels like there is no room for her if her lover stays in the town

So we're running away
To escape the constraints of their current surroundings they plan to run away

We'll pack our bags and take the first train
They will hastily leave without looking back

And we're getting the hell out of here
The urgency to leave is clear

This place could burn for all we care
They do not care what happens to their current location

Hold me till then
They seek comfort in each other's company amidst the chaos of their plans

Whoa oh, whoa oh
The music breaks down the lyrics to show emotion

It's too bad empty bottles couldn't save her life today
The girl who is the singer of the song may have resorted to drugs or alcohol and it's too late
