Too Far to Where You Are
Yearning for Closeness: Emotions of Distance in "Too Far to Where You Are
Lyrics
I start dreaming driving home
I begin imagining while driving home
About having you alone
Fantasizing about being with you in a private moment
I know that you'll be there for me
I'm confident that you'll be there to support me
But in my favorite fantasy
However, in my favorite daydream
You won't be
You won't be there
Across the street, across the room, a step away
Regardless of being nearby, whether across the street or in the same room
Well that's just too far for me
That proximity feels too distant for me emotionally
To feel you breathe each time you lay
I long to feel your breath every time you rest
Your head on my shoulder
When you lean your head on my shoulder
Say that we will never be apart
Expressing a desire for us to always remain together
Cause if you're not in my arms
If you're not physically close to me
It's way too far to where you are
The distance feels overwhelming to where you are
When you're away that's when I see
When you're absent, it's when I lose sight of myself
If I can't find you I can't find me
Without you, I feel disconnected from who I am
My light goes out, my darkness shows
My positive energy fades, revealing my struggles
When I need you I need you close
I desperately need your closeness
And I mean close
And by close, I mean intimately connected
Across the street, across the room, a step away
Regardless of how close physically, whether nearby or in the same space
Well that's just too far for me
That closeness feels emotionally distant for me
To feel you breathe each time you lay
I yearn to sense your breath each time you rest
Your head on my shoulder
When you lay your head on my shoulder
Say that we will never be apart
Expressing a wish for us to never be separated
Cause if you're not in my arms
If you're not physically close to me
It's way too far to where you are
The distance feels overwhelming to where you are
