Far Away

by Nickelback


"Far Away" music video by Nickelback

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

Chorus:
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

Chorus:
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go


Was looking for this song for awhile now ever since I heard it on the radio recently. I immediately knew it was by Nickelback but just didn't know the song title. I used iTunes to preview the songs by Nickelback and once I found the song, I downloaded it! Of course I had the help of Google for finding out the song title too. ;)

This song just blew me away...far, far away (pun intended)! The music appeals to me at so many levels. The music and tune of the song is critical in me liking a particular song. Only if the music and tune is acceptable can it be classified as a song I like. The next stage will be to see if the lyrics are meaningful and beautiful or just some crap pooled together. Sometimes, even if the song has crappy lyrics but nice music and tune, I might still end up liking the song. The music will supercede the crappy lyrics. :P However, even if the song has divinely wonderful lyrics but crappy music, most likely it will not interest me at all or at most for a very short period of time only. I mean, who likes to listen to crappy music right? :P When both the music and lyrics appeal to me, then you know the song is really something special. 'Far Away' is one of those songs that both truly appeals to me.

The lyrics of this song speaks to me in so many ways. In my opinion, it is quite similar to Nobody Knows by Tony Rich Project since it is suitable for very much the same situation (well, at least for me). Maybe it kind of complements each other very well. :) The lyrics of this song somehow has that pull and connects to me so well. That would explain why it's looping over and over again on my iTunes although I had a myriad of other new songs added to my playlist. Speaks volume of this song, no? Anyway, I hope you find the song as appealing to your ears as I did.

  1. i like this song too! u didn't ask me, i have it...
    but then again, i know it's very difficult to please u with the file format etc. so u are better off looking for songs on your own.

    it's the lyrics that caught me first :)
