"Far Away" lyrics - LILLY HIATT

Damn, I am surprised
You got me good this time
For your pirate stare and messy hair
I put it on the line
Who am I to wait?
I know I am unsafe
I let you in my heart and then
You took it all away

[Chorus:]
So, if you meet another girl like me
Who wants to call you home
Make sure when you touch her
She don't feel so all alone
'Cause that's how it was for me
When I held you so near
I have never felt more far away
Than when you were right here

I feel a little grim
It's 'cause I like to win
But even more importantly
I lost a lovely friend
'Cause I held on too long
You could not be strong
Maybe down the road we'll laugh
About how we were wrong

[Chorus:]
So, if you meet another girl like me
Who wants to call you home
Make sure when you touch her
She don't feel so all alone
'Cause that's how it was for me
When I held you so near
I have never felt more far away
Than when you were right here
I have never felt more far away
Than when you were right here
