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
