So Far Away Lyrics

Cover art for So Far Away lyrics by Carole King

this is one of my favorite carole king songs. i know it's supposed to be a breakup song, but i strongly associate it with my kind of more than friend who lives in new york, and i'm in chicago. so she's litteraly far away.

this line is the strongest for me: "long ago i reached for you and there you stood holding you again could only do me good" she gives the best hugs in the world, and i would kill to be back in her arms.

this song is so beautifully written.

That's how I look at it too. My high school crush recently graduated and he's not from Philadelphia. He's going to college in Minnesota. He wasn't my boyfriend or anything but I wish he wasn't so far away.
