Far Away
Sweetbox Lyrics

Here we are now
We are at the present moment together, physically located in the same place.

Sleeping in the same bed that we don't share
Although we are sharing the same bed, we are not sharing an emotional or intimate connection with each other.

Walking in the same room to breathe different air
We are in the same physical space, but we are experiencing different feelings and thoughts.

Excuse me but I don't think that I know you
Despite being physically close, I feel emotionally distant from you and do not truly know who you are.

And at night
During the night time when I am alone with my thoughts and feelings.

I walk around and think of you and your old shirt
I often think about you and the memories we had together, which are connected to specific objects or clothing that you used to wear.

I'm tired of trying to drink away all the hurt
I am exhausted from trying to numb my emotional pain with alcohol or other coping mechanisms.

'cause when I lose myself I just find you
Even though I try to escape from my feelings, I ultimately end up thinking about you and feeling your absence more deeply.

You're so far away
Despite being physically close, I feel that you are emotionally distant and hard to reach.

I need you to say
I want to hear you express your feelings to me directly and honestly.

I love you
I want to hear you say that you love me, and to feel a genuine emotional connection between us.

Oh God
An expression of exasperation or frustration with the situation.

I swear I'd rather have you scream or cry
I would prefer that you express your emotions to me in a more intense way, even if it is negative, rather than being emotionally distant and unresponsive.

Than have to look at your cold, quiet eyes
Your lack of emotional expression or communication is more painful to me than any negative emotion you might express.

How can I be lonely right by your side?
Despite being physically close to you, I feel a deep loneliness due to our lack of emotional connection.

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
A repeated phrase expressing a combination of frustration, sadness, and longing.

Ohhhhhhh
An expression of emotional pain or frustration.

So far
Although you are physically close, I feel that you are emotionally distant from me and difficult to connect with.

Know that I miss you
I want you to know that I feel your absence and long to feel a deeper sense of connection with you.

I love you
An expression of desire for emotional connection and affection between us.

But you're so far away
Despite my longing and desire for emotional connection, I feel that you are emotionally distant from me and hard to reach.
