By The Way Lyrics
By the way
Every little thing about her face
Fills him up
The image so pleasing it could never be erased
Here to stay
Embedded in his mind
He wishes they could be together all the time
By the way
She says things, the tone, just to hear her voice
He can't explain
The sound so exciting to him a perfect choice
Here to stay
Embedded in his mind
He wishes they could be together all the time
A crazy independent Spanish speaking
Arty flirty red wine drinking
Sexy tomboy with a natural way of
Thinking carefree
And innocent she's slightly sneaky
Confidently proud from another country
Has her way, lives for today
By the way she's far away
By the way
Holding her, hugging her can feel so warm
Just think about it
Two bodies embracing, creating love in this form
Here to stay
Embedded in his mind
He wishes they could be together all the time
A crazy independent Spanish speaking
Arty flirty red wine drinking
Sexy tomboy with a natural way of
Thinking crazy
Then she kissed him and she went away
Far across to San Francisco Bay
You'd think that she would think again
And only want to be with him
Regardless of the things that pull her far away
She's far away
A crazy independent Spanish speaking
Arty flirty red wine drinking
Sexy tomboy with a natural way of
Thinking crazy
By the way she's far away
And by the way she's far away
A crazy independent Spanish speaking
Arty flirty red wine drinking
By the way she's far away
Oooh - far away - oh
A crazy independent Spanish speaking
Arty flirty red wine drinking
By the way she's far away
Every little thing about her face
Fills him up
The image so pleasing it could never be erased
Here to stay
Embedded in his mind
He wishes they could be together all the time
She says things, the tone, just to hear her voice
He can't explain
The sound so exciting to him a perfect choice
Here to stay
Embedded in his mind
He wishes they could be together all the time
Arty flirty red wine drinking
Sexy tomboy with a natural way of
Thinking carefree
And innocent she's slightly sneaky
Confidently proud from another country
Has her way, lives for today
By the way she's far away
Holding her, hugging her can feel so warm
Just think about it
Two bodies embracing, creating love in this form
Here to stay
Embedded in his mind
He wishes they could be together all the time
Arty flirty red wine drinking
Sexy tomboy with a natural way of
Thinking crazy
Far across to San Francisco Bay
You'd think that she would think again
And only want to be with him
Regardless of the things that pull her far away
She's far away
Arty flirty red wine drinking
Sexy tomboy with a natural way of
Thinking crazy
By the way she's far away
And by the way she's far away
Arty flirty red wine drinking
By the way she's far away
Oooh - far away - oh
A crazy independent Spanish speaking
Arty flirty red wine drinking
By the way she's far away

Love this song, so beautiful.
It is about a exchange student, I head he was from Ukraine, and Tom (the guitarest) fell in love with her, but they couldn't really be togther as she had to move around (San Fransico bay) and back to her own country.
So, quite sweet/cute/sad really.
why hasn't anyone commented on this song yet? i think this is probably my favorite no doubt song, definitely my favorite off this cd. stricken's good too...
i was a no doubt fan years and years ago, when i was just a kid. they were one of the first bands i ever liked. when their new cd came out i almost died. i don't like it at all. i think hella good is a stupid song, and hey baby could use some work. but this song, i LOVE. it is soooo awesome and it somewhat makes up for everything else crappy they have right now...
i forgot to mention that i didnt like return of saturn either... :-\
love the melody and the lyrics. it's a little bit latin, which is cool. i love it how they can relate the lyrics to the melody like that.
love this song. favorite part = "sexy tomboy with a natural way of thinking crazy". I love the song and it has a nice vibe. it took me a while to like it, but now i can't get enough of it!
