So Far Away
So Far Away Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life that healed a broken heart with all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could
Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we're so invincible
The truth is so cold
A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind
Where you can stay
You can stay awake forever
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid




The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a

place for me
'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
To live eternally
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book its burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say and you're so far away


The song "So Far Away" by Avenged Sevenfold is a powerful and emotional tribute to a loved one who has passed away. The lyrics focus on the struggle of living without the ones we love and the pain and emptiness that it brings. The first verse talks about a person who never feared anything or felt shame, yet was never truly free, and how this person's life helped heal a broken heart. The singer then speaks about trying to heal this person's broken heart as well. The chorus asks the question, "Will you stay away forever?" and reflects on the difficulty of living without those we love, with time turning the pages of the book of life and place and time always on the mind. The second verse talks about the plans we make for our future and how we feel invincible, but the truth is that life can be cold and harsh. The final verse is a message to the loved one who has passed away, promising to keep their memory alive and to live eternally so that they will always be together. The song ends with the heartfelt statement that the light the loved one left behind remains, but it's so hard to stay when there's so much left to say and they're so far away.

[Verse 1: Jamie Scott]
Light 'em up, light 'em up
Tell me where you are, tell me where you are
Summer nights, bright lights
And the shooting stars, they break my heart

[Pre-Chorus: Jamie Scott]
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

[Chorus: Jamie Scott]
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

[Post-Chorus: Jamie Scott]
So far away

[Verse 2: Romy Dya]
It's breaking me, I'm losing you
We were far from perfect, but we were worth it
Too many fights, and we cried, but never said we're sorry
Stop saying you love me

[Pre-Chorus: Romy Dya]
You're calling me now, but I can't pick up
Your shadow's still close, and I'm still in love
The summer's over now, but somehow, it still breaks my heart
We could have had the stars, oh

[Chorus: Jamie Scott & Romy Dya]
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

[Post-Chorus: Romy Dya & Jamie Scott]
So far away
So far away
Oh, so far away
So far away

[Outro: Romy Dya]
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 when you're so far away

Light 'em up, light 'em up
Tell me where you are, tell me where you are
Summer nights, bright lights
And the shootin' stars, they break my heart
Callin' you now, but you're not pickin' 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
No, love
God, I miss you every single day and now you're so far away
So far away
It's breakin' me, losin' you
We were far from perfect
But we were worth it
Too many fights, and we cried
But never said we're sorry
Stop sayin' you love me
You're callin' me now, but I can't pick up
Your shadow's still close, and I'm still in love
The summer's over now
But somehow it still breaks my heart
We could have had this talk
Oh
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

Light 'em up, light 'em up
Acenda-os, acenda-os

Tell me where you are, tell me where you are
Diga-me onde você está, diga-me onde você está

Summer nights, bright lights
Noites de verão, luzes brilhantes

And the shooting stars, they break my heart
E as estrelas cadente, elas partem meu coração

Calling you now, but you're not picking up
Ligando para você agora, mas você não está atendendo

Shadows so close if that's still enough
Sombras tão perto se isso ainda for suficiente

Light a match, light a match
Acenda um fósforo, acenda um fósforo

Baby, in the dark, show me where you are
Querida, no escuro, mostre-me onde você está.

Oh, love
Oh, amor

How I miss you every single day when I see you on those streets
Como eu sinto sua falta todos os dias quando eu te vejo nessas ruas

Oh, love
Oh, amor

Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
Diga-me que há um rio que eu posso nadar que vai te trazer de volta para mim

'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
Porque eu não sei como amar outra pessoa

I don't know how to forget your face
Eu não sei como esquecer seu rosto.

Oh, love
Oh, amor

God, I miss you every single day and now you're so far away
Deus, eu sinto sua falta todos os dias e agora você está tão longe

So far away
Tão longe

It's breaking me, I'm losing you
Está me quebrando, eu estou perdendo você

We were far from perfect, but we were worth it
Estávamos longe de ser perfeitos, mas valemos a pena

Too many fights, and we cried, but never said we're sorry
Muitas lutas, e nós choramos, mas nunca dissemos que estamos arrependidos

Stop saying you love me
Pare de dizer que você me ama

You're calling me now, but I can't pick up
Você está me ligando agora, mas eu não posso atender

Your shadow's still close, and I'm still in love
Sua sombra ainda está perto, e eu ainda estou apaixonada

The summer's over now, but somehow, it still breaks my heart
O verão acabou agora, mas de alguma forma, ainda me parte o coração

We could have had the stars, oh
Nós poderíamos ter tido as estrelas, Oh

Oh, love
Oh, amor

How I miss you every single day when I see you on those streets
Como eu sinto sua falta todos os dias quando eu te vejo nessas ruas

Oh, love
Oh, amor

Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
Diga-me que há um rio que eu posso nadar que vai te trazer de volta para mim

'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
Porque eu não sei como amar outra pessoa

I don't know how to forget your face
Eu não sei como esquecer seu rosto.

Oh, love
Oh, amor

God, I miss you every single day and now you're so far away
Deus, eu sinto sua falta todos os dias e agora você está tão longe

So far away
Tão longe

So far away
Tão longe

Oh, so far away
Oh, tão longe

So far away
Tão longe

Oh, love
Oh, amor

How I miss you every single day when I see you on those streets
Como eu sinto sua falta todos os dias quando eu te vejo nessas ruas

Oh, love
Oh, amor

Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
Diga-me que há um rio que eu posso nadar que vai te trazer de volta para mim

'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
Porque eu não sei como amar outra pessoa

I don't know how to forget your face
Eu não sei como esquecer seu rosto.

Oh, love
Oh, amor

God, I miss you every single day when you're so far away
Deus, eu sinto sua falta todos os dias e agora você está tão longe
