Out in the faraway nearby
can you hear me 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 meant it,
if I said something wrong
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
out in the faraway nearby
I'm breaking down the walls
till you're here to stay
out from the faraway
Big whisper, small scream
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 se them
and wishing you'd follow
...and walk with me hand in hand, ya-ha
and talk with me you got a plan, ah-ha
and hold me, and hold me
don't stop...in the faraway nearby
can you hear me call
