So Far Away
Longing for Presence: Carole King's "So Far Away
Lyrics
So far away
Expressing a sense of physical or emotional distance.
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
Reflecting on the rarity of people staying in one place.
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Expressing a desire to have a loved one close by.
It doesn't help to know you're just time away
Realizing that knowing someone is far away doesn't ease the emotions.
Long ago, I reached for you and there you stood
Recalling a past moment of reaching out for the person.
Holding you again could only do me good
Believing that reuniting would bring positive feelings.
How I wish I could, but you're so far away
Expressing the impossibility of being close due to the distance.
One more song about movin' along the highway
Introducing a theme of constant movement on the highway.
Can't say much of anything that's new
Acknowledging a lack of novelty in the current situation.
If I could only work this life out my way
Desiring to figure out life in a way that allows closeness.
I'd rather spend it bein' close to you
Expressing a preference for spending time close to a loved one.
But you're so far away
Reiterating the emotional distance that separates them.
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
Expressing disappointment in the lack of stability in relationships.
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Reiterating the desire for the physical presence of a loved one.
It doesn't help to know you're so far away
Highlighting the emotional challenge of the physical distance.
Yeah, you're so far away
Emphasizing the significant emotional gap that exists.
Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely
Expressing the emotional toll of constant travel.
Nothin' else to do but close my mind
Describing a sense of isolation and limited options on the road.
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
Expressing a hope not to be overwhelmed by the challenges of constant travel.
There's so many dreams I've yet to find
Acknowledging unfulfilled dreams due to the ongoing journey.
But you're so far away
Reiterating the emotional distance from the loved one.
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
Expressing frustration with the lack of stability in relationships.
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Reiterating the desire for the physical presence of a loved one.
And it doesn't help to know you're so far away
Highlighting the emotional challenge of the physical distance.
Yeah, you're so far away
Emphasizing the significant emotional gap that exists.
Yeah, you're so far away
Repeating the sentiment of being emotionally distant from the loved one.
