Far Away
Lúcia Martins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me where you are, tell me where you are
The summer nights, the bright lights
And the shooting stars, they break my heart
I'm calling you now, but you're not picking up
Shadows so close if that's still enough
Light a match, light a match
Baby, in the dark, show me where you are
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 and now you're so far away
So far away
You showed me love, but not enough
Tried to make it perfect, but on the surface
It was killing me, killing you
Never listened to me, couldn't say I was sorry
You're calling me now, but I can't pick up
Your shadow's so close, and I'm still in love
Guess you could say that, we lost our love
Somewhere in the stars, don't know who we are, oh

Light 'em up, light 'em up
Ignite the lights that symbolize our memories
Tell me where you are, tell me where you are
Inform me of your whereabouts
The summer nights, the bright lights
The moments we felt alive, shining bright
And the shooting stars, they break my heart
Remembrances of fleeting moments that cause heartache
I'm calling you now, but you're not picking up
Trying to reach you, but receiving no response
Shadows so close if that's still enough
Even if we're not physically present, your presence is felt
Light a match, light a match
Set fire to my pain hidden in the darkness
Baby, in the dark, show me where you are
Despite the darkness, guide me to where you are
Oh, love
Addressing the feeling of longing and desire
How I miss you every single day when I see you on those streets
Aching over the loss of love felt when seeing you
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
Expressing hope for a way to reconnect and revive the love
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
Unable to move on and love someone new
I don't know how to forget your face
Unable to erase the memory of your image
God, I miss you every single day and now you're so far away
Longing for someone who is now distanced
You showed me love, but not enough
Though attempting to convey love, it wasn't sufficient
Tried to make it perfect, but on the surface
Striving for perfection, but only achieving it externally
It was killing me, killing you
The inadequacy in the relationship was negatively affecting both parties
Never listened to me, couldn't say I was sorry
Lack of communication and admitting fault contributed to the end
You're calling me now, but I can't pick up
Receiving a call, but unable to answer
Your shadow's so close, and I'm still in love
Memories of you are persistent, and feelings of love remain
Guess you could say that, we lost our love
Acknowledging that the love they shared has disappeared
Somewhere in the stars, don't know who we are, oh
Love has faded, and a sense of uncertainty and confusion remains
