"So Far Away" is a 1993 song by alternative rock band the Goo Goo Dolls. It is from their fourth album Superstar Car Wash, which brought them face to face with one of their primary influences, Paul Westerberg of The Replacements. The song is a strong fan favorite even though it has never been performed live and is the only song from the Goo Goo Dolls sung by lead singer Johnny Rzeznik from 1993's Superstar Car Wash to 1998's Dizzy Up the Girl not to make it onto one of the band's three compilation albums. It is the fourteenth and last song on the album.

"So Far Away" was originally written and recorded with the title "Dancing in Your Blood"; the song had the same basic structure, but different lyrics, more minimal instrumentation, and a slightly different melody. The song also takes its "tell me something I don't know" chorus from the Superstar Car Wash demo song "Tell Me".
