So far away
Bridgeway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We felt close to the sun as we burned like a flame
And I thought I could always stay with you
What a shame you don't feel the way I do
No, I can't let go every time you leave
My heart is slowly freezing
It's the same old song that we played for years
So far away, and I'm barely breathing
So far away
Now I live and I pray that our love never fades
No reply yet received though I try to believe
And I said I would never let it show
I'm afraid I could end up all alone
No, I can't let go every time you leave
My heart is slowly freezing
It's the same old song that we played for years
It gets so hard to speak we're
So far away, and I'm barely breathing
So far away
If you made a choice a long time ago
Would you care enough to let me know
No, I can't let go every time you leave
My heart is slowly freezing
It's the same old song that we played for years
No, I can't let go every time you leave
My heart is slowly freezing
It's the same old song that we played for years
It gets so hard to speak we're
So far away, and I'm barely breathing
So far away, it gets hard to speak we're
So far away
The lyrics in Bridgeway's song "So Far Away" seem to be about a relationship that has come to a standstill. The singer reminisces about a time they spent with the other person, lying by the lake and feeling close to the sun, and how they thought they could always stay with them. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the other person does not reciprocate those feelings, and the singer struggles to let go every time they leave. The repetition of the line "It's the same old song that we played for years" suggests that this is a cycle that has been going on for some time, and it's become difficult to communicate with one another. The singer is afraid of ending up alone, and wonders if the other person would even let them know if they made a choice a long time ago.
The theme of distance is prevalent throughout the song, both physically and emotionally. The two people in the relationship seem to be drifting further and further apart, and the singer feels like they're barely holding on. The metaphor of the heart slowly freezing is particularly poignant, emphasizing the idea that the feelings between the two have gone cold.
Overall, the lyrics in "So Far Away" suggest a feeling of longing and sadness, a sense of not quite being in sync with someone else. It's a portrayal of a relationship struggling to survive under the weight of miscommunication and unrequited feelings.
