Wolfmother – Far Away Lyrics

Rock

Don't you ever, get together
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
They could take it or leave it 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
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

About This Song

"Far Away" is a melancholic rock ballad that explores themes of distance, loneliness, and the struggle to maintain connections when separated from loved ones. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and isolation, with the repeated phrase "when you're far away" emphasizing the emotional and physical distance that creates barriers between people. Musically, the song showcases Wolfmother's signature blend of classic rock influences with modern production, featuring driving guitar riffs and Andrew Stockdale's distinctive vocals that build from introspective verses to more powerful, anthemic choruses. The track stands out on *Cosmic Egg* for its more subdued, contemplative approach compared to the band's typically heavier psychedelic rock sound, demonstrating their range while maintaining their characteristic energy. The song captures the universal experience of missing someone and the difficulty of staying connected across distance, making it both personally relatable and emotionally resonant.
