Love You From a Distance
Longing from Afar
Lyrics
I keep my hair long
I maintain long hair because it was your preference.
'cuz that's how you liked it
Wearing my hair in this manner because it appealed to you.
I wear the color black because
I dress in black because that's what you first saw me wearing.
You first saw me in it
The color black reminds you of our initial encounter.
I look through my phone
I search my phone for remnants or reminders of you.
for pieces of you
Scanning through my phone for traces or memories associated with you.
Even though I deleted most
Despite deleting most things, I still have a few memories of you.
I still have just a few
Though I've removed much, a few memories of you linger.
Right person wrong time
Our connection might have been right, but the timing wasn't.
There's truth to what they say
The adage "right person, wrong time" holds some truth.
And I really wish these feelings
I wish these emotions would fade away.
Would just up and go away
Hoping that these feelings would simply disappear.
I know that I can't act
I understand I can't make sudden changes or impact your life drastically.
And change your life in an instant
Realizing my limitations in altering your life instantly.
So I'll stand here on my own
I'll remain here by myself.
And I'll love you from a distance
I'll continue to love you while keeping my distance.
I'll love you from a distance
My love for you will persist while maintaining separation.
You said you'd never met someone
You mentioned never feeling truly yourself around anyone until me.
Where you could truly be yourself
Your words made me wish I was someone else.
With that I fell into your arms
I felt drawn into your embrace due to your statement.
And wished I was someone else
Desiring to be someone different after your revelation.
Right person wrong time
Similar to earlier, the timing of our connection wasn’t right.
There's truth to what they say
Confirming the validity of the saying "right person, wrong time."
And I really wish these feelings
Hoping these emotions would fade away and cease to trouble me.
Would just up and go away
Desiring the disappearance of these persistent feelings.
I know that I can't act
Recognizing I cannot make sudden changes in your life.
And change your life in an instant
Acknowledging the limitations in drastically altering your life.
So I'll stand here on my own
I'll remain in solitude, loving you from a distance.
And I'll love you from a distance
Continuing to maintain my love for you while keeping my distance.
I'll love you from a distance yeah
Reiterating my commitment to loving you from afar.
I can see it in your eyes that you feel the way I do
I perceive in your gaze that you share my sentiments.
Yeah I know there was something
Recognizing a connection between us.
Between me and you
There was an unspoken understanding or chemistry between us.
Right person wrong time
Confirming the validity of the saying "right person, wrong time."
There's truth to what they say
Admitting the truth in the adage about timing and connections.
And I really wish these feelings
Hoping these emotions would dissipate and vanish.
Would just up and go away
Wishing for the cessation of these persistent feelings.
I know that I can't act
Understanding I cannot enact immediate change in your life.
And change your life in an instant
Recognizing the limitations in abruptly transforming your life.
So I'll stand here on my own
I'll remain distant and continue loving you as I am.
And I'll love you from a distance
Staying at a distance while maintaining my love for you.
So far away yeah
Expressing the emotional gap between us.
I'll love you from a distance
Continuing to love you despite the physical separation.
So far away yeah
Reiterating my commitment to loving you despite the distance.
I'll love you from a distance
Emphasizing my love for you despite the physical distance between us.
