So Far Away
Waterloo & Robinson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could pull you away
I could lead you on to
A far, far distant place
If there somewhere without tears, could
I take all of your pain
Somewhere far out beyond here
Yet so close, so close you could taste it
You're close to me now
My eyes, they could be closed but
I'd still feel you somehow
And I'll
Show you a place
So far from here
So come follow my lead
We'll go off somewhere
Where the clouds disappear
From the sounds of your heartbeat
To the touch of your hands
The time laid out before us
Still I struggle to understand you
But just know when you wake, if
You're crying in pain
Baby through all of your nightmares
I'd still be there the same
And I'll
Show you a place
So far from here
So come follow my lead
We'll go off somewhere
Where the clouds disappear
And I'll
Show you a place
So far from here
So come follow my lead
We'll go off somewhere
Where the clouds disappear
And I'll
Take you away
Baby we'll disappear
So come follow my lead
Beyond to a world
So far from here
Then I'll lift you up
Your small gentle frame
I'd carry you home, to
Your old familiar place
In my arms
The lyrics to Waterloo & Robinson's song "So Far Away" explore the themes of comfort and escape. The singer is offering to take their loved one away from their current troubles and pain to a distant place where there is no sadness. Though the lyrics describe this place as "so far away," it is also "so close, so close you could taste it," suggesting that it is not necessarily a physical location but rather a state of mind or emotion that can be accessed in the presence of love and connection. The singer expresses a deep understanding of their loved one's pain, acknowledging that they may still cry in their dreams, but promises to be there for them no matter the circumstances.
The repetition of the chorus, "I'll show you a place so far from here, so come follow my lead, we'll go off somewhere where the clouds disappear," reinforces the idea that the singer is offering a way out of their current struggles. The use of personal pronouns, including "I" and "you," creates a sense of intimacy and emotional investment in the relationship between the singer and their loved one. The final lines, "Then I'll lift you up, your small gentle frame, I'd carry you home, to your old familiar place, in my arms," further emphasize the singer's desire to offer comfort and safety to their loved one.
