Far Away
Rachèl Louise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been trying to escape
I've been looking for the days
All these feelings I've obeyed
I've been holding, holding

Guess I lied too many times
Haven't seen too many signs
Like stars secrety aligned
I've been holding, holding
I've been holding, holding
(Holding, holding)

Oh, you say
Come on say what you mean now
'Cause I been tearing my heart out
And you make everything seem so far away

Oh
Come on say what you mean now
'Cause I been tearing my heart out
And you make everything seem so far away

Playing in between the lines
Like it wont hurt any time
Just some more polish and shine
But, but but

I no longer wanna be the one to let me down again
No, I no longer wanna be stuck to me,
Be stuck to me
I been holding, holding
(Holding, holding)
I been holding, holding

Come on say what you mean now
'Cause I been tearing my heart out
And you make everything seem so far away

Yea, come on say what you mean now
'Cause I been tearing my heart out
And you make everything seem so far away
So far away

(Vocalizations)

And all we do is hold on
We just seem to hold on
Like the earth, like the earth is falling, falling, falling
But its not falling, falling, falling

Come on say what you mean now
'Cause I been tearing my heart out
And you make everything seem so far away

Come on say what you mean now
'Cause I been tearing my heart out
And you make everything seem so far away

Oh
Come on say what you mean now
You're so far away

Oh
Come on say what you mean now
'Cause I been tearing my heart out
