So far away
Frankenreiter Donavon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to break through to you
I'm on the other side of this world
I wish I was there with you
All these days and all these nights
Thinking about you my friend
I can't wait to get back home
Even though I can hear your voice
Don't you know that touch is my choice
Even though I can hear your voice
Your still so far away
Remember those times driving down the coast
Stopping at all the spots we love the most
Watching the wind blowing through your hair
Living our life like we just don't care
All these days and all these nights
Thinking about you my friend
I can't wait to get back home
And do it all over again
Even though I can hear your voice
Don't you know that touch is my choice
Even though I can hear your voice
Your still so far away
You know that your still so far away
I'm on the telephone but your still
So far away
I'm over here but your still
So far away
I let you know that
Even though I can hear your voice
Don't you know that touch is my choice
Even though I can hear your voice
Your still so far away
Remember those times on the telephone line
Trying to break through to you
(Your so far away)
Remember those times driving down the coast
Trying to break through to you
(So far away)
So far away
The song "So Far Away" by Donavon Frankenreiter is about a long-distance friendship and the longing to be together. The opening lines reminisce about the times on the telephone line trying to talk to the friend who is so far away, wishing to be with them but finding it difficult to do so. The lyrics also talk about driving down the coast, visiting favorite spots, and the carefree life they lead together. The singer expresses how much he misses his friend and can't wait to get back home to do it all over again. The chorus repeats the line, "Even though I can hear your voice, your still so far away," reflecting the idea that even though they stay in touch, nothing compares to the physical presence of being together.
The lyrics suggest that while being able to hear each other's voices is a source of comfort for the friends, it falls short of the intimacy they share in person. They yearn for that physical touch and closeness, which is something that cannot be replaced by technology. The song portrays how distance can be a challenge in maintaining relationships, and how it takes a toll on those involved.
