So Far Away
Herbert Gronemeyer Lyrics

Another telephone call
We communicate through the phone once again

We talk again for hours
Our conversation lasts for a long duration

So much remains unspoken
There are many things we don't say to each other

Long-distance love is all we get
Our love can only exist from a distance

I feel so far away, so weary
I am emotionally exhausted and disconnected

I want to see your face and hold you close
I desire physical closeness with you

I only want to have you near me
Being in your presence is all I desire

I need you here with me
I require your physical presence to feel whole

I want you to be with me
Having you by my side is my heart's desire

I want you to want me
I long for you to desire me as much as I desire you

Just come here
Please come to me

Wish you understood how I need your magic touch
I hope you realize how much your touch means to me

Believe me when I tell you how much I miss you
Trust that I truly miss you

I lie awake at night
I cannot sleep

You're running round my head
You are on my mind constantly

And fight it as I might it won't get better
I cannot stop thinking of you, no matter how much I try

I'm cracking up without you
I am falling apart without you here

Alone here, it feels like a sentence in hell
Being alone is torture for me

And I want you more than I could ever tell
My desire for you is too strong to put into words

I miss your head next to mine
I long for the closeness we used to share

The soft smell of your body
Your scent is a comforting reminder of you

Oh oh, I miss your sweet talk in my ear
Your words of endearment are greatly missed

Our heartbeats locked together
Our hearts beating in unison were a source of great comfort

Oh, I miss all the things you make me feel
I miss the emotions you evoke within me

A love that lasts forever
Our love is eternal

Oh la la la la la la, I need you here oh la la la
Expressing my need for you in a heartfelt way

Oh wish you understood how I need your magic touch
Reiterating my desire for your touch

Believe me when I tell you how much I miss you
Assuring you that my feelings are genuine

I need you here with me
Reinforcing my need for your physical presence
