So Far Away
Longing Across Distances: The Heartfelt Journey of 'So Far Away'
Lyrics
So far away
Expressing a sense of distance or separation.
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
Reflecting on the rarity of people staying in one place.
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Desiring the joy of encountering a familiar face at the doorstep.
And it doesn't help to know you're just time away
Acknowledging the emotional challenge of being apart.
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Recalling a past attempt to reach out for a loved one.
Holding you again would only do me good
Believing that reuniting would bring positive outcomes.
Oh how I wish I could but you're so far away
Expressing a deep longing for proximity despite the current distance.
One more song about moving along the highway
Introducing the theme of a journey along the highway.
I can't say much of anything that's new
Admitting a lack of novelty in the singer's experiences.
But if I could only work this life out my way
Expressing a desire to live life on one's own terms.
I'd rather spend it being close to you
Prioritizing closeness to a loved one over other pursuits.
But you're so far away
Reiterating the emotional distance felt from the loved one.
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
Questioning the trend of people constantly moving.
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Expressing the desire to see a familiar face at the singer's door.
And it doesn't help to know you're so far away
Reemphasizing the emotional challenge of the physical distance.
So far away, yeah, you're so far away
Repeating the sentiment of being far away from the loved one.
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Sharing the loneliness and weariness of constant travel.
Nothing else to do but close my mind
Describing a state of mind when there's nothing to do but reflect.
And I sure hope the road don't get to own me
Expressing a hope not to be completely consumed by the journey.
There's so many dreams that I've yet to find
Highlighting unfulfilled dreams that the singer hopes to discover.
But you're so far away
Reiterating the emotional distance felt from the loved one.
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
Pondering the lack of stability in people's lives.
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Expressing the desire for a familiar face at the singer's door.
And it doesn't help to know you're so far away
Reemphasizing the emotional challenge of the physical distance.
So far away, yeah, you're so far away
Concluding with the repetition of the sentiment of being far away from the loved one.
