* | Out in the faraway nearby | ||
can you hear me call? | {can you hear my call?} | ||
out in the faraway nearby I'm breaking down the walls till you're here to stay out from the faraway | |||
Hot looks, cold words, don't know what it is you heard but I didn't mean it, if I said something wrong oo, short nights, long dreams something happens in between then a weird feeling, like you're here but still you're gone | |||
.. |
oo, heart beats like a knock on the door but it sounds so faraway | ||
In the faraway nearby | |||
can you hear me call? | {can you hear my call?} | ||
out in the faraway nearby but it's not like what it seems locked up in the open don't know which way to go deserts, oceans leaving footprints in the sand hoping that you'll see them and wishing you'd follow | |||
.. |
and walk with me hand in hand, ya-ha | ||
and talk, too | {and talk with me} | ||
you got a plan, ah-ha and hold me, and hold me don't stop, don't stop... | |||
[repeat *] oo, heart beats | |||
can you hear me call? |
{can you hear my call?} | ||
out in the faraway |
