Lyrics
Far, Far Away
Far, far away
I wish that?s where we were headed
Closer to you
Right now you wish I were embedded
Far, far away
All our dreams and aspirations
Evade us as we chase them
Some escape to distant nations
We follow
You are from the mainland ? grew up near the state line
I live on the outskirts ? hang out on the fault line
I am from the outside ? I love you on the inside
You just hop in shotgun ? let?s go for a ride!
Far, far away
Somewhere the sun is rising
Hold on tonight
Full moon waning spirit fading
Ocean waves
Wash away my memories
Drown my past in the seas
Start fresh we are free
Follow me
You are from the mainland ? grew up near the state line
I live on the outskirts ? hang out on the fault line
I tried to walk on water - then became a real man
Used to drive the fast lane ? now I jam the slow hand
We used to meander ? tried to ride the green line
Flirting with forever ? now we move in real time
I am from the outside ? I love you on the inside
You just hop in shotgun ? let?s go for a ride!
