Embracing Distance: A Tale of Unfinished Goodbyes and Unspoken Moves
Lyrics
And we say hello to distance once again
Reconnecting with distance, indicating a recurring separation.
Another goodbye but is not the end
Parting ways temporarily, not signaling the ultimate conclusion.
The next hello will hopefully be more permanent
Hoping for a lasting reunion in the future.
But it won't be
Implying that the anticipated permanence might not occur.
You were always set on leaving
Stating the partner's consistent intention to depart.
While I was willing to wait for you
Expressing the singer's willingness to remain committed.
And I would have made the move
Indicating readiness to take action in the relationship.
But you didn't want me to
Highlighting the partner's resistance to the singer's initiative.
And we press our lips together once again
Reiterating a temporary farewell through physical intimacy.
Another goodbye but it is not the end
Similar to line 2, emphasizing the continuation despite goodbyes.
And the next kiss will hopefully be more pertinent
Hoping for a more significant and relevant future embrace.
But it won't be
Expressing doubt about the possibility of the anticipated meaningful moment.
But it won't be
Reiteration of doubt regarding a significant future event.
You were always set on leaving
Repeating the partner's consistent inclination to leave.
While I was willing to wait for you
Reaffirming the singer's commitment to wait and maintain the relationship.
And I would have made the move
Expressing readiness to take a proactive step.
But you didn't want me to follow through
Highlighting the partner's resistance to the singer's proactive action.
You were always set on leaving
Restating the partner's consistent intention to depart.
While I was willing to wait for you
Reiterating the singer's willingness to stay committed.
And I would have made the move
Reiterating readiness to take action for the relationship's sake.
But you didn't want me to follow through
Emphasizing the partner's refusal of the singer's intended action.
