So Far Away
Dire Straits (Backing Track) Lyrics

Here I am again in this mean old town
I find myself back in this unpleasant place where I feel stuck and unhappy.

And you're so far away from me
You are not physically near me, and I miss your presence and companionship.

And where are you when the sun goes down
I wonder where you are and what you are doing during the nighttime when I am longing for you.

You're so far away from me
Despite my desire for you, you remain out of my reach and distant from me.

So far I just can't see
The distance between us is so great that it feels like you are invisible or non-existent to me.

I'm tired of being in love and being all alone
My feelings of love for you are not enough to satisfy my need for companionship and togetherness.

When you're so far away from me
The physical distance between us makes it difficult to maintain a sense of closeness and connection.

I'm tired of making out on the telephone
The lack of physical intimacy and presence in our relationship is exhausting, and phone calls cannot replace being together in person.

Cause you're so far away from me
Once again, the distance between us is the cause of our separation and lack of fulfillment.

And I get so tired when I have to explain
It can be mentally and emotionally exhausting to constantly have to justify our long-distance relationship to others.

See you've been in the sun and I've been in the rain
We are experiencing different realities and environments, which makes it harder to relate to each other's experiences and emotions.

And you're so far away from me
Once again, the physical distance is a barrier to our relationship and makes it harder to connect.

Far away from me
The distance between us is significant and impactful on our relationship.

You're so far
Once again, the vast physical distance is emphasized.

You're just so far away from me
The distance between us is a significant obstacle to our relationship, and I long to be closer to you.
