So far away
Concetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn't help to know you're just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again would only do me good
Oh how I wish I could but you're so far away
I can't say much of anything that's new
But if I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it being close to you
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn't help to know you're so far away
So far away, yeah, you're so far away
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
And I sure hope the road don't get to own me
There's so many dreams that I've yet to find
But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any more?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn't help to know you're so far away
So far away, yeah, you're so far away
Concetta's song "So Far Away" is about the pain of separation and the desire to be close to a loved one. The singer laments how people are constantly moving around and not staying in one place, making it difficult for them to see their loved ones. They long to see their lover's face at their door, but they know it's not possible because they are so far away. The singer reaches back to the past when they were able to hold their lover again and wishes they could do so once more; however, distance keeps them apart.
The second verse speaks to the monotony of life on the road, where the singer feels isolated and alone. This only exacerbates their longing to be near their loved one. They hope that the road doesn't take over their life entirely and steal their dreams. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing how far their loved one is and how much they miss them.
The song's emotion is raw and relatable, and the lyrics paint a picture of someone struggling with feeling disconnected from their loved one. The singer desires to be close to their lover but is hindered by the distance that separates them.
