Octobrists - Faraway Girl Lyrics

She sees the world as a different place
Her super power will seal her fate
Flawed and strengthened all in one
Ready to scream out loud "DONE, DONE, DONE"

Hurt by many, understood by few
The immense amount of radiance that no one knew

She hides from the world deep within
The world's to blame for this shameful sin
Not ready to follow, Not ready to lead
Not ready for her to bring us to our knees

Hurt by many, understood by few
The immense amount of radiance that no one knew

No more long goodbyes
Now your on her time
Now she's flying away
Oh no please don't let her stay

She's a Faraway Girl but shes doesn't need to be
Art and grace are for all to see
She's a Faraway Girl but we don't need her to be
Too much beauty to set her free
She's a Faraway Girl but shes doesn't need to be
Art and grace are for all to see
She's a Faraway Girl is that her destiny?
Too much beauty to set her free

Viewing the world upside down
Hearing the music make a different sound
Just take a seat sit and enjoy
Hold your thoughts in and try to act coy

Hurt by many, understood by few
The immense amount of radiance that no one knew

Armed with her canvas it's her turn to speak
Turning the angels mute she makes them meek
Guarding her heart and her soul from all
The sadness and darkness makes her feel really tall

Hurt by many, understood by few
The immense amount of radiance that no one knew

Her light has flickered and all burnt out
She taught us all what life and love is about
One day the world will say they knew her then
But knowing her is knowing you never did
