Far From Home
Journey of Longing: Embracing Memories and Solitude
Lyrics
When you travel far from home, do you wonder who to call?
Reflecting on the experience of traveling away from home and contemplating who to reach out to.
And, when you venture off alone, who do you wish was there
Questioning the companionship desired when embarking on solo journeys.
To meet you as you run down
Describing a scenario of running towards a place where happiness and love were discovered.
To the place where you found
Highlighting the location where positive emotions were found.
Happiness and love?
Asking about the person's thoughts and emotions during this reflective process.
Tell me, who are you thinking of?
Prompting the listener to reveal who occupies their thoughts in moments of reflection.
'Cause right now I'm thinking of you, I hold my hands up and speak the truth
Expressing the singer's current focus on the listener and a commitment to honesty.
I miss you every day, it almost pains me
Conveying the emotional impact of missing the person daily.
To say I want you badly
Acknowledging a strong desire for the person despite potential pain.
The aftermath of us is hurting me
Expressing emotional distress caused by the aftermath of their relationship.
Does it hurt you too?
Questioning whether the separation is also painful for the other person.
Tell me, who are you speaking to?
Seeking information about the person the listener is currently communicating with.
And now you're walking far away from me
Noting the physical distance between the singer and the listener.
And it cuts me to the bone
Expressing the deep emotional impact of the separation.
I just don't know what you want from me
Expressing confusion about the listener's expectations from the singer.
Are you okay with being alone?
Inquiring about the listener's comfort or discomfort with solitude.
(Are you okay with feeling alone? All alone?)
Repeating the question about the listener's feelings of loneliness.
When I walk back down your road, so many memories come and go
Recalling memories while revisiting the path of the person being addressed.
This is the worst part of it all, trying to neglect
Identifying the difficulty in ignoring strong emotions experienced in the relationship.
The strongest feeling I've had
Emphasizing the intensity of emotions felt.
I just want you so bad
Expressing a strong desire for the person despite recognizing its perceived wrongness.
But I know it's wrong
Acknowledging the ethical conflict in wanting the person back.
Tell me, who are you thinking of?
Repeating the inquiry about the person currently occupying the listener's thoughts.
And now you're walking far away from me
Reiterating the emotional distance between the singer and the listener.
And it cuts me to the bone
Reiterating the profound emotional impact of the separation.
I just don't know what you want from me
Expressing uncertainty about the listener's expectations.
Are you okay with being alone?
Asking about the listener's comfort with solitude, repeating the earlier question.
(Are you okay with feeling alone? All alone?)
Reiterating the inquiry about the listener's feelings of loneliness.
