So Far Away
Ê·µ¤(Staind) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is my life
It's not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
And these are my dreams
That I'd never lived before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping
[Chorus:]
Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all the mistakes, one life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
And I can forgive
And I'm not ashamed to be
The Person that I am today

These are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay
And this is the smile
That I've never shown before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping

[Chorus:] (altered)
Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all the mistakes, one life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
And I'm not ashamed to be
The Person that I am today

I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me

Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all the mistakes, one life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
And I can forgive




And I'm not ashamed to be
The Person that I am today

Line by Line Meaning

This is my life
The current state of my existence


It's not what it was before
My past experiences have transformed my current reality


All these feelings I've shared
The emotions and thoughts I've expressed to others


And these are my dreams
The aspirations and hopes that I hold for myself


That I'd never lived before
That I previously had not experienced or brought to fruition


Somebody shake me 'cause I
I am in disbelief and need confirmation


I must be sleeping
This reality is too positive to be true


Now that we're here, it's so far away
Our current state of being is distant from the struggles and pain we once endured


All the struggle we thought was in vain
Our past suffering seems purposeless in light of our current situation


And all the mistakes, one life contained
Our past errors are a part of our life story


They all finally start to go away
Our regrets and pain are starting to dissipate


And I feel like I can face the day
I now have the courage and confidence to confront the future


And I can forgive
I've found the strength to make peace with past hurts


And I'm not ashamed to be
I am no longer embarrassed or fearful of showing my true self


The Person that I am today
The authentic version of myself at this moment in time


These are my words
The expressions and musings that I've voiced


That I've never said before
Topics or feelings that were never previously discussed


I think I'm doing okay
I feel confident and content with my current progress


And this is the smile
The outward expression of my newfound peace and happiness


That I've never shown before
A previously private emotion or feeling


I'm so afraid of waking
I fear that this awakening to inner peace is just a dream


Please don't shake me
I don't want to be woken up from this newfound state

Lyrics:
Verse 1: Jamie Scott]
Light 'em up, light 'em up
Tell me where you are, tell me where you are
Summer nights, bright lights
And the shooting stars, they break my heart

[Pre-Chorus: Jamie Scott]
Calling you now, but you're not picking up
Shadows so close if that's still enough
Light a match, light a match
Baby, in the dark, show me where you are

[Chorus: Jamie Scott]
Oh, love
How I miss you every single day
When I see you on those streets
Oh, love
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
I don't know how to forget your face
Oh, love
God, I miss you every single day when you're so far away

So far away

[Verse 2: Romy Dya]
It's breaking me, losing you
We were far from perfect
But we were worth it
Too many fights, and we cried
But never said we're sorry
Stop saying you love me


[Pre-Chorus: Romy Dya]
You're calling me now, but I can't pick up
Your shadow's still close, and I'm still in love
The summer's over now
But somehow it still breaks my heart
We could have had this talk
Oh

[Chorus: Romy Dya & Jamie Scott]
Oh, love
How I miss you every single day
When I see you on those streets
Oh, love
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
I don't know how to forget your face
Oh, love
God, I miss you every single day and when you're so far away

[Post-Chorus: Romy Dya & Jamie Scott]
So far away
So far away, oh
So far away
So far away

[Outro: Romy Dya]
Oh, love
How I miss you every single day
When I see you on those streets
Oh, love
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
I don't know how to forget your face
Oh, love
God, I miss you every single day and when you're so far away

Light 'em up, light 'em up
Tell me where you are, tell me where you are
Summer nights, bright lights
And the shootin' stars, they break my heart
Callin' you now, but you're not pickin' up
Shadows so close if that's still enough
Light a match, light a match
Baby, in the dark, show me where you are
Oh, love
How I miss you every single day
When I see you on those streets
Oh, love
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
I don't know how to forget your face
No, love
God, I miss you every single day and now you're so far away
So far away
It's breakin' me, losin' you
We were far from perfect
But we were worth it
Too many fights, and we cried
But never said we're sorry
Stop sayin' you love me
You're callin' me now, but I can't pick up
Your shadow's still close, and I'm still in love
The summer's over now
But somehow it still breaks my heart
We could have had this talk
Oh
Oh, love
How I miss you every single day
When I see you on those streets
Oh, love
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
I don't know how to forget your face
No, love
God, I miss you every single day and now you're so far away
So far away
So far away, oh
So far away
So far away
Oh, love
How I miss you every single day
When I see you on those streets
Oh, love
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
I don't know how to forget your face
Oh, love
God, I miss you every single day when you're so far away
