So Far Away
Crupp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I look in your eyes
I nearly feel whatґs on your mind
If you break down and cry
I ask myself do I even try

Iґm not gonna let you down because
Youґre the only one for me girl
Everyday and everynight we could
Make some love, it should feel so nice, oh

So far away, lalala la la la laa
So far from me, girl
Lalala la la la laa
So far away, lalala la la la laa
So far away

When I hear youґre voice on the phone
I canґt hardly wait until we meet again
It feels a little bit lonely when
Youґre so far away from me

I need you to stay with me
Youґre the prettiest one that Iґve ever seen
I never have felt like this
When youґre so close to me girl, oh

So far away, lalala la la la laa
So far from me, girl
Lalala la la la laa




So far away, lalala la la la laa
So far away x2

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Crupp's "So Far Away" revolve around the theme of separation and the longing for physical intimacy with a loved one who is geographically distant. The opening lines, "When I look in your eyes/ I nearly feel what's on your mind," convey a deep sense of emotional connection between the two individuals. The singer is able to sense the pain his partner feels, and he is torn between wanting to comfort her and wondering if his efforts would make any difference. The line "If you break down and cry/ I ask myself do I even try" underscores the frustration and helplessness that arise from being away from one's significant other.


However, the singer reassures his partner that he is committed to her and will never let her down. The lines "I'm not gonna let you down because/ You're the only one for me girl" establish a sense of loyalty and devotion in the relationship. The singer further expresses his desire for physical intimacy- "Everyday and every night we could make love, it should feel so nice, oh." He dreams of being able to hold her in his arms, and make the distance between them disappear.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "So far away," which captures the central emotion of the song- the sadness and frustration of being away from a loved one. The singer is acutely aware of the physical distance between him and his partner, and he longs for the day when they can be together. The chorus is catchy, and the use of "lalala" creates a sense of innocence and purity, which adds to the overall emotional resonance of the song.
