Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Those eyes,
your smile,
your innocence, means everything to me,
But you dont know, baby
The way you, hold me,
even when you're with your friends,
means everything, to me, but you
dont know...
We dont even talk no more,
we dont even hold hands like we did before,
we dont even knowthe reason why it came to be,
that even though you're with me...
You feel so far away,
Feel so far away,
feel so far away-ay-ay-ay
feel so far away,
feel so far away
i kiss you, without seeing,
thoughts of ecstasy,
But some how your lips feel so cold, baby,
Jay sean:
we're perfect, arent we?
in their eyes, only,
but you and i, both know
the spark has gone...
we dont even talk no more,
we dont even make love like we did before,
we dont even know the reason why it came to be,
that even though you're with me...
you feel so far away (baby girl i need you here,
baby girl, i need you)
feel so far away,
feel so far away,
feel so far away...
feel so far away (girl i need you)
feel so far away,
lets maybe take this like
so we can see,(yeah)
how beautiful this love can be (so beautiful)
jay sean:
And i know we cant erase what we both feel,
so lets fall back into what we had...
that love just feels so far away,
feels so far away,
feel so far away (come a little bit, oh, come a little bit, oh)
feels so far away,
feels so far away...
ohhoh...
The song Far Away by Jay Sean and Keisha Buchanan is a poignant and emotional ballad that delves into the complexities of a fading relationship. The lyrics are full of longing and heartbreak as the singers express their feelings about the distance they feel from their significant other. The first verse talks about the small things that the singer loves about their partner but feels like they go unnoticed, like their laugh, eyes, smile, and innocence. The second verse describes how they're no longer as close as they used to be, and they don't even know why. They talk about the lack of intimacy and communication between them and how they wish they could go back to what they had before. The chorus repeats the phrase "feel so far away" to emphasize the distance they feel from each other, and the song ends with a plea to "come a little bit closer."
The verses are sung separately by Jay Sean and Keisha Buchanan, and they both bring their unique emotional depth to the song. The male perspective is represented by Jay Sean, who talks about how society sees them as a perfect couple when, in reality, the relationship is falling apart. In contrast, Keisha Buchanan's vocals convey the vulnerability and pain of feeling distant from someone you love. The song's message highlights how love is not always enough, and sometimes relationships can hurt even when you don't want them to.
