The Distance
Beyond Miles: A Love Transcending Distance
Lyrics
Turn it up and tear me out your radio
Expressing the desire to be heard on the radio.
You keep me queued all night when it's tomorrow for you in Tokyo
Highlighting the time zone difference between the speaker and the listener in Tokyo.
I'm sending thoughts your mind won't read
Sending thoughts that may not be easily understood.
That the missing piece you're searching for is the part that broke from me
Suggesting that the missing part the listener seeks is a piece of the speaker.
Outside the window, beside your bed
Describing the surroundings outside the listener's window.
Shadows dance through shades of red
Depicting the play of shadows in the room.
Golden hour clears gray showers from our heads
Emphasizing the uplifting effect of the golden hour.
Call me up, should you break down
Offering support if the listener is in distress.
Feel unheard, I won't make a sound
Assuring the listener that their feelings won't be ignored.
It's not absurd to feel unsure every once in awhile
Normalizing occasional uncertainty in emotions.
Would you mention the marks that I'm missing
Asking if the listener acknowledges the speaker's flaws.
When it feels like were sinking not swimming
Expressing a challenging moment in the relationship.
Listening gets harder than hearing
Highlighting the difficulty of understanding versus hearing.
I just want to know what you're saying
Expressing a desire for clear communication.
Go months without visiting or seeing
Acknowledging physical distance but retaining emotional connection.
But we never lose that feeling
Affirming that the emotional connection persists despite physical separation.
The distance means nothing to me
Stating that distance is not a barrier for the speaker.
When she loves with more than eyes can see
Describing a deep and profound love that goes beyond appearances.
Lost all fear for stormy weather
Expressing fearlessness in facing challenges together.
Turbulence brings us together
Suggesting that challenges strengthen the relationship.
Summer nights, Chilean wines feel just fine
Describing enjoyable moments with Chilean wines in summer nights.
When it rains we seek each other
Turning to each other for comfort during difficult times.
Meet outside and dance forever
Imagining eternal dancing under various settings.
Under starry skies or your sunrise to my surprise
Appreciating shared moments under the stars or at sunrise.
Would you mention the marks that I'm missing
Repeating the inquiry about acknowledging the speaker's imperfections.
When it feels like were sinking not swimming
Reiterating the challenges faced in the relationship.
Listening gets harder than hearing
Stating that understanding becomes more difficult than hearing.
I'm just trying to know what you're saying
Expressing the speaker's effort to comprehend the listener's words.
Know I'm not the type to make a scene
Affirming the speaker's tendency to avoid causing a scene.
But I won't go easily
Asserting determination not to give up easily.
Could I get a quick AMEN
Seeking affirmation or agreement, perhaps religiously inspired.
For giving you more than I could spend
Acknowledging giving more than one can afford.
It's such a shame that we became another statistic, it's insane
Expressing regret about becoming a statistical relationship failure.
That you're another shade of blue in the landscape I outgrew
Describing the listener as a new, unexpected element in the speaker's life.
When she loves with more than eyes can see
Reiterating the theme of profound, non-superficial love.
All she asks is honesty
Stating that honesty is all the speaker asks for.
It won't be the distance in the end
Claiming that distance won't be the downfall of the relationship.
I think I'll blame myself instead
Expressing a self-blaming sentiment rather than blaming the distance.
