Away From You
Christian Bautista Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There were moments of uncertainty and pain
But when you are there to help and care, I smile again
But here am I so alone away from you
[Chorus:]
Everyday I can only pray for your warm, lovin' arms
To take me away from all the emptiness, despair
Why do I have to be away from you
I have searched throughout the world a lot of things I've seen
I have pondered many possibilities
Then you come along, you make me strong so stay with me
Why am I on my own without you
[Chorus:]
On my own so far away I long from your warm lovin' arms
Into the cold, dark emptiness of hurt, despair
I don't wanna be away from you
[Chorus:]
Everyday I can only pray for your warm, lovin' arms
To take me away from all the emptiness, despair
Why do I have to be away from you
Please don't let me be
[Chorus:]
On my own so far away I long from your warm lovin' arms
Into the cold, dark emptiness of hurt, despair
I don't wanna be away from you
Christian Bautista's song "Away From You" describes the feeling of being lost and alone without the love and support of a significant other. The singer acknowledges that there are times when life gets overwhelming and they feel like giving up, but their partner is always there to lift them up and make them smile. However, despite having this support, there are moments when they are forced to be apart and that absence brings a deep sense of emptiness and despair.
The chorus of the song touches upon the power of love to heal and to provide a sense of safety and comfort. The singer prays every day for the warmth of their partner's loving arms to take them away from the pain and loneliness that they experience in their absence. They long to be united with their partner and to feel the strength and fortitude that comes with love.
The song does an excellent job of illustrating the emotional turmoil that comes with long-distance relationships, the way they force us to question the limits of our emotional resilience and how we react when our most important emotional supports are not there for us. It's a reminder of the importance of love, companionship and support in our lives.
