this song has two meanings - literally, it's about long distance relationships, and metaphorically it's about not really knowing a person you're in love with, and feeling distant and removed from a relationship.
lyrics
[Verse 1]
I met a girl once,
Her eyes made lights appear,
She said she liked punk rock,
And the air felt so clear,
She lives a world away,
And just wants to be back here,
I would give anything,
To just hold her near,
[Chorus]
It's like she lives a world away,
If she didn't I would see her every day,
It's too bad she live a world away,
Or I'd be with her till I'm old and grey,
[Verse 2]
I met a girl once,
Her eyes made my heart melt,
But she had no idea,
Of the way that I felt,
She lives a world away,
And just wants to be back here with me,
I would give anything,
To just hold her near,
[Chorus]
It's like she lives a world away,
If she didn't I would see her every day,
It's too bad she live a world away,
Or I'd be with her till I'm old and grey,
[Bridge]
I miss her more every hour,
Even though I never really knew her,
I miss her more every hour,
Even though I never really knew her,
It's like she lives a world away,
It's like she lives a world away,
It's like she lives a world away,
It's like she lives a world away,
