So Far Away
David Guetta & Martin Garrix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics to "So Far Away" by David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Jamie Scott, and Romy touch upon the themes of longing, heartbreak, and the struggles of being separated from a loved one. The song conveys the emotions one feels when they are separated from someone they deeply care about and the difficulty of moving on and loving someone else.
The opening lines of the chorus, "Oh, love, How I miss you every single day, When I see you on those streets," show the singer's longing and deep emotional connection to their loved one. Despite the distance between them, the singer still envisions their loved one in familiar places, which further intensifies their yearning. The chorus also asks for a sign or a way to bring their loved one back, expressing the inability to love anyone else and the struggle to forget their face.
The verses depict the singer's internal turmoil and conflict. They mention the breakdown in their relationship, acknowledging that it wasn't perfect and there were many fights. However, they also recognize the value and worth of their connection, stating that they were worth the pain and fights. The lines "Stop sayin' you love me, You're callin' me now, but I can't pick up" exhibit the singer's struggle to let go and move on, as they are still in love and cannot easily detach themselves from the memories of their past relationship.
Overall, "So Far Away" is a heartfelt portrayal of the pain and longing that comes with being separated from someone you deeply care about. It expresses the difficulty of moving on and finding love elsewhere while still holding on to memories of the past.

Light 'em up, light 'em up
Ignite the flames, ignite the flames
Tell me where you are, tell me where you are
Reveal your location to me, reveal your location to me
Summer nights, bright lights
Warm nights, vibrant illuminations
And the shootin' stars, they break my heart
The falling stars, they deeply sadden me
Callin' you now, but you're not pickin' up
Attempting to contact you presently, but you're not responding
Shadows so close if that's still enough
Shadows in close proximity, if that's sufficient
Light a match, light a match
Ignite a flame, ignite a flame
Baby, in the dark, show me where you are
Darling, in the darkness, reveal your whereabouts to me
Oh, love
Oh, affection
How I miss you every single day
How I long for you each and every day
When I see you on those streets
When I catch glimpses of you on those roads
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
Inform me of a river I can navigate to reunite with you
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
'Cause I'm incapable of loving another person
I don't know how to forget your face
I'm clueless about erasing the memory of your visage
No, love
No, affection
God, I miss you every single day and now you're so far away
Heavens, I yearn for you every day, and now you're unreachable
It's breakin' me, losin' you
It's shattering me, being without you
We were far from perfect
We were nowhere near flawless
But we were worth it
But we held value
Too many fights, and we cried
Numerous conflicts, and we shed tears
But never said we're sorry
But never uttered apologies
Stop sayin' you love me
Cease professing your love for me
You're callin' me now, but I can't pick up
You're contacting me now, but I cannot answer
Your shadow's still close, and I'm still in love
Your presence remains nearby, and I'm still in love with you
The summer's over now
The summer has now concluded
But somehow it still breaks my heart
Yet it continues to emotionally wound me
We could have had this talk
We could have engaged in this conversation
Oh
Oh
So far away
Distant
So far away, oh
Considerably distant, oh
Oh, love
Oh, affection
How I miss you every single day
How I long for you each and every day
When I see you on those streets
When I catch glimpses of you on those roads
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
Inform me of a river I can navigate to reunite with you
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
'Cause I'm incapable of loving another person
I don't know how to forget your face
I'm clueless about erasing the memory of your visage
Oh, love
Oh, affection
God, I miss you every single day when you're so far away
Heavens, I yearn for you every day when you're unreachable

Light 'em up, light 'em up
Acenda-os, acenda-os
Tell me where you are, tell me where you are
Diga-me onde você está, diga-me onde você está
Summer nights, bright lights
Noites de verão, luzes brilhantes
And the shooting stars, they break my heart
E as estrelas cadente, elas partem meu coração
Calling you now, but you're not picking up
Ligando para você agora, mas você não está atendendo
Shadows so close if that's still enough
Sombras tão perto se isso ainda for suficiente
Light a match, light a match
Acenda um fósforo, acenda um fósforo
Baby, in the dark, show me where you are
Querida, no escuro, mostre-me onde você está.
Oh, love
Oh, amor
How I miss you every single day when I see you on those streets
Como eu sinto sua falta todos os dias quando eu te vejo nessas ruas
Oh, love
Oh, amor
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
Diga-me que há um rio que eu posso nadar que vai te trazer de volta para mim
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
Porque eu não sei como amar outra pessoa
I don't know how to forget your face
Eu não sei como esquecer seu rosto.
Oh, love
Oh, amor
God, I miss you every single day and now you're so far away
Deus, eu sinto sua falta todos os dias e agora você está tão longe
So far away
Tão longe
It's breaking me, I'm losing you
Está me quebrando, eu estou perdendo você
We were far from perfect, but we were worth it
Estávamos longe de ser perfeitos, mas valemos a pena
Too many fights, and we cried, but never said we're sorry
Muitas lutas, e nós choramos, mas nunca dissemos que estamos arrependidos
Stop saying you love me
Pare de dizer que você me ama
You're calling me now, but I can't pick up
Você está me ligando agora, mas eu não posso atender
Your shadow's still close, and I'm still in love
Sua sombra ainda está perto, e eu ainda estou apaixonada
The summer's over now, but somehow, it still breaks my heart
O verão acabou agora, mas de alguma forma, ainda me parte o coração
We could have had the stars, oh
Nós poderíamos ter tido as estrelas, Oh
Oh, love
Oh, amor
How I miss you every single day when I see you on those streets
Como eu sinto sua falta todos os dias quando eu te vejo nessas ruas
Oh, love
Oh, amor
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
Diga-me que há um rio que eu posso nadar que vai te trazer de volta para mim
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
Porque eu não sei como amar outra pessoa
I don't know how to forget your face
Eu não sei como esquecer seu rosto.
Oh, love
Oh, amor
God, I miss you every single day and now you're so far away
Deus, eu sinto sua falta todos os dias e agora você está tão longe
So far away
Tão longe
So far away
Tão longe
Oh, so far away
Oh, tão longe
So far away
Tão longe
Oh, love
