So Far Away by Carole King is featured in Jagged Little Tapestry, the third episode of Season Six. It is sung by Quinn and Tina.
Quinn, Tina, and Becky plan to sing this song in front of her boyfriend, Darrell, to cover for Becky's lie that she was in glee club. Becky is nervous but Tina says to just "burst in like Mercedes". Quinn and Tina sing in front of everyone in the choir room which includes Sue and Darrell, and encourage Becky to join in, but she runs out of the choir room. Quinn, Tina, Santana, and Brittany chase after her. Sue blames the whole situation on Quinn and Tina's "pitchy" singing and angrily stares at Darrell, making him uncomfortable. In the astronomy room, the girls comfort Becky, and tell their own situations where they've had to lie before. Becky thanks them for their support and they all hug.
Lyrics[]
Quinn:
So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know
Tina (and Quinn):
You're just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only (do me good)
How I wish I could
But you're (so far away)
Quinn and Tina:
One more song about moving along the highway
I can't say much of anything that's new
Tina with Quinn:
If I could only work this life out my way
Quinn and Tina:
I'd rather spend it being close to you
Quinn and Tina (Quinn):
(But you're so) far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Quinn:
And it doesn't help to know
Quinn and Tina:
You're so far away
Tina:
Yeah, you're so far away
Quinn:
So far away
Tina (Quinn):
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
(Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely)
Tina:
Nothing else to do but
Quinn and Tina:
Close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
Tina (Quinn):
There are so many dreams (There are so many dreams)
I've yet to find (I've yet to find)
Tina:
But you're so far away
Quinn and Tina (Quinn):
Doesn't anybody stay in one place (anymore) (Tina: Anymore)
(It would be) so fine to see your face at my door
Quinn (and Tina):
And it doesn't help to know (you're so far away)
Yeah, (you're so far away)
Tina (Quinn):
Oooh (Yeah)
Quinn and Tina:
You're so far
