No Place That Far
Westlife Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't imagine any greater fear
Than waking up without you here
And though the sun would still shine on
My whole world would all be gone
But not for long

If I had to run
If I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers
Just to climb a thousand walls
Always know that I would find a way
To get to where you are
There's no place that far

It wouldn't matter why we're apart
Lonely months, two stubborn hearts
Nothing short of God above
Could turn me away from your love
I need you that much

If I had to run
If I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers
Just to climb a thousand walls
Always know that I would find a way




To get to where you are
There's no place that far

Line by Line Meaning

I can't imagine any greater fear
I can't even begin to fathom how fearful it would be


Than waking up without you here
To wake up and realize that you're not here beside me


And though the sun would still shine on
Even if the world continues to function


My whole world would all be gone
My life would have no meaning or purpose


But not for long
But I will do something about it


If I had to run
If I had to move quickly


If I had to crawl
If I had to get on my hands and knees and move slowly


If I had to swim a hundred rivers
If I had to swim across many different rivers


Just to climb a thousand walls
If I had to scale many walls


Always know that I would find a way
I will relentlessly keep searching


To get to where you are
Until I reach the place where you are


There's no place that far
Distance or obstacles won't hinder me from being with you


It wouldn't matter why we're apart
The reason for our separation doesn't change how much I need you


Lonely months, two stubborn hearts
Even if it takes months or if both of us are being stubborn


Nothing short of God above
Only divine intervention can stop me from being with you


Could turn me away from your love
The love I have for you is strong and unwavering


I need you that much
I'm willing to go to great lengths for you because I need you so much
