So Far Away Lyrics
I try to feel the distance
That has grown between us
Open up as lonely as the space between the stars
I wish that i could find a way
To smash my fist right through these walls
Of uglyness
And emptyness
And gently touch your face
(Chorus)
But everytime that I touch you
It feels so far away
And everytime that you need me
I feel so far away
I see you silently beside me
Choking back your tears
I wonder if you recognize
The silence there that defines us
Desperatly I try to fight
This overwhelming sense that I
May never find the strength to change
How hopeless we've become
(Chorus)
Can I feel so far away?
I feel so far away
I need to find a way to break this silence (x3)
That's between us
So I scream your name
I scream your name (x2)
(Chorus)
And everytime that you reach out
You feel me pull away
And everytime that I touch you, I touch you, I touch you
You feel so far away
That has grown between us
Open up as lonely as the space between the stars
To smash my fist right through these walls
Of uglyness
And emptyness
And gently touch your face
But everytime that I touch you
It feels so far away
And everytime that you need me
I feel so far away
Choking back your tears
I wonder if you recognize
The silence there that defines us
This overwhelming sense that I
May never find the strength to change
How hopeless we've become
That's between us
So I scream your name
I scream your name (x2)
You feel me pull away
And everytime that I touch you, I touch you, I touch you
You feel so far away

i think this song is about a relashionship that has nothing left, there is no communication or love, just this coldness where you can't leave and you can't stay at the same time, but he wants to fix it back to how it used to be.

i love this song.. this is t he first actual song i heard b4 i fell in love w/ SW.. its definitely about a lost relationship.. nothing can be done to bring it back cuz its hopeless.. all faith is gone.. everything is lost.. but he/she wants to find the way to bring it up again becuz obviously he/she loves the person
I'm seriously considering sending this song to one of my ex-gf's cus she and I have tried getting together several times and every time it doens't work out...some of it I think is my fault for a lot of things...but it just really explains it well...She was always kind of distant when we were together and I could never figure out why...and neither could she so things never really worked out...and I feel so bad for hurting her...but this song kinda explains why I had to...
Worst song from their worst album SW R.I.P.
this song is about touching someone even though they seem far away where they should be out of reach
yeah she left me. i miss her. doesn't work anymore no matter how much i (and hopefullu she) wants. she moved on. can't reach her. plays her games of teasing. says she loves me. and when i feel her embrace, it feel so cold and empty to what it used to be.
Just so you know those lyrics are WRONG! the beggining part is "Each night I feel the distance"
And then on the 4th verse it should be "As you lay silently beside me"
simply amazing man..this guy is a genius whne it comes to writing lyrics......touchy
Ya, genius. I wonder if he has gotten into another band.
And in the Chorus, it should be "You feel so far away" not "It feels so far away"
I'm pretty sure he says "And I feel so far away" not "Can I feel so far away?"
