Far Away
The Wild Now Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's where it starts
Won't you stop holding onto
That's when it sparks
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Opened our eyes
Planted our roots deep deep
Into the ground
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And they say and they say and they say
That you're gone
And they say and they say and they say
That you're gone, ooh
But you're never far
You're never far away
You're never far
You're never far away
I saw the ending
Took my breath away
The end it was all we knew
And there we will stay
There we will stay
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And they say and they say and they say
That you're gone
And they say and they say and they say
That you're gone, ooh
But you're never far
You're never far away
You're never far
You're never far away
You're never far
You're never far away
You're never far
You're never far away
Just when I thought
I'll never see your face
You're never far
You're never far away
You're never far
You're never far away
You're never far
You're never far away
Just when I thought
I'll never see your face
You're never far
You're never far away

Overall, "Far Away" is a poignantly written song with a haunting melody that perfectly captures the bittersweet feeling of lost love that still lingers on. The lyrics encourage the listener to live in the present and let go of their past while still keeping the hope of love alive.
