Far Away
Wolf Mother Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're far away
When you're far away?
The nights are long
Well its nothing that you never seen
But it's hard to say
But it's hard to say
Don't listen to the words they say
Just let it go another day
I believe that love is gonna last forever
And it's all within my mind, and it's all within my mind
I believe that love is gonna last forever
And it's all within my mind, and it's all within my mind
Step down from the mountainside
Well I see that you're doing fine
When you're far away
When you're far away
Well you tell me that you're coming down
Well it's good to see that you're back around
But it's hard to say, I was far away
Don't listen to the words they say
They could never believe you anyway
Just let it go another day
I believe that love is gonna last forever
And it's all within my mind, and it's all within my mind
I believe that love is gonna last forever
And it's all within my mind, and it's all within my mind
I believe that love is gonna last forever
And it's all within my mind, and it's all within my mind
I believe that love is gonna last forever
And it's all within my mind, and it's all within my mind
Can you believe that love is gonna last forever
And it's all within my mind, and it's all within my mind

+PublicEnemy-1 I got to see them in Norway just before the release of this album, had the time of my life! They actually came to a musicfestival in my hometown, was unbelieveable!
Nolan Randall
I saw them twice this year in Toronto. The second show there was about 150 people there. It was absolutely amazing and I felt privileged to be part of such a small audience. They should be placed in the top echelon of modern bands worldwide and selling out arenas.

***** You're so lucky mate! I fucking love Victorious! Quality album in my opinion and hopefully I'll be able to see them live someday. White Unicorn is my all time favourite song :)

Easily the best album from this band.
Every song is great in its own way.
So happy I remembered this album today and added it to my playlist. ✌️

9 anos ouvindo, e ainda me emociona como na primeira vez que escutei. ♥

I'l admit that I just cried while listening to this song. It made me think of the past and how one's best friends from primary and secondary school can just disappear from your life, maybe to another school, state, or area. U dont think about it then but in the decades I have left to live, I'll probably never see them again. Just can't keep myself together when i think about that. And while friendship, school, and life itself pass you by, love will always last forever, and it's always in my mind
