[Intro]
Mh-hm, yeah
[Verse 1]
You and me, along time ago
Always meant to be, but you wouldn't know
The world was there to see
A long, long, windin' road, all alone
A long, windin' road, yeah
[Pre-Chorus
Mh, that day you were tryin'
Hold back the tears, sayin' goodbye
I coulda held you more often
Told you the truth instead of sweet lies
[Chorus]
Oh, faraway eyes
And I was miles from home when I realized
Yeah, the price that I paid
I see every mistake that I made
When I look in your faraway
[Verse 2)
Yeah, so I left and went for miles
From sea to sea
While I burned the midnight oil, babe
You were restless in your sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Who's right or wrong
Is a very hard thing to decide
I coulda held you more often
Told you the truth instead of sweet lies
[Chorus]
Oh, faraway eyes
I was miles from home when I realized
Oh, the price that I paid
I see every mistake that I made
When I look your faraway eyes, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Well, you and me, a long time ago
It was always meant to be, but you wouldn't know
I coulda held you more often
Told you the truth instead of sweet lies
Now that I'm home, babe
I'll never give up 'til the day that I die
[Chorus]
Oh, faraway eyes
I was miles from home when I realized
Oh, the price that I paid
I see every mistake that I made
When I look your faraway eyes
When I look in your faraway eyes
