Lyrics

So far away

Yearning for closeness, feeling distant

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore

Expressing a sense of transience and movement

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Desiring the presence of a loved one

Doesn't help to know that you're just time away

Recognizing the challenge of being apart


Long ago I reached for you and there you stood

Recalling a past attempt to connect

Holding you again could only do me good

Emphasizing the positive impact of reunion

How I wish I could but you're so far away

Expressing the longing for closeness despite distance


One more song about movin' along the highway

Acknowledging the recurring theme of movement

Can't say much of anything that's new

Commenting on the lack of novelty in expressions

If I could only work this life out my way

Expressing a desire for personal control

I'd rather spend it bein' close to you

Prioritizing closeness over individual pursuits


But you're so far away

Reiterating the emotional distance

You're so far away

Repeating the sentiment of being far apart


Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely

Expressing the emotional toll of constant travel

Nothin' else to do but close my mind

Indicating a lack of alternative activities

I sure hope the road don't come to own me

Expressing a concern about the impact of travel on identity

But there's so many dreams I've yet to find

Mentioning unfulfilled dreams and aspirations


But you're so far away

Reiterating the emotional distance

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore

Reflecting on the rarity of stability in relationships

It would be so fine to see your face at my door

Reiterating the desire for a loved one's presence

And it doesn't help to know, it doesn't help to know

Highlighting the emotional impact of awareness

It doesn't help to know

Emphasizing the limited value of awareness in this context


You're so far away

Reiterating the profound distance from a loved one
