Lyrics
3000 miles away I left my hear in Tampa Bay
Expressing physical distance, leaving a part of oneself in Tampa Bay.
No one would ever think we'd meet this way
Surprising or unconventional circumstances led to the meeting.
But we took all our chances
Embracing opportunities despite uncertainties.
24 hours a day and not a single one went away
Continuous effort and attention, with no time escaping without thoughts of the other.
Without me thinking how was your day
Concern for the partner's daily experiences and well-being.
And your Bucs in end zone dances
Referencing the partner's team and celebrating their successes.
Far from you what's a lover suppose to do
Pondering the challenges of being far from the loved one.
When a picture just won't do
A photograph is insufficient to capture the essence of the relationship.
I just want to be close to you
Expressing the desire for physical closeness.
Far from you what's a lover suppose to do
Reiteration of the challenges of distance.
When a picture just won't do
Highlighting the inadequacy of pictures in conveying emotions.
I just want to be close to you
Reiterating the longing for proximity and intimacy.
I wondered if 12 years and then some
Reflecting on the challenges of a long-distance relationship, considering personal history.
Plus 3 different time zones and me coming from a broken home
Mentioning different time zones and a difficult upbringing.
Would they ever approve
Questioning whether external factors would approve of the relationship.
8 o-clock I'd get home and we'd facetime on our iPhones
Describing routine communication through FaceTime despite time differences.
Sometimes talking till the morning sun
Extended conversations, sometimes lasting until the morning.
It was always so good
Expressing the consistently positive nature of the relationship.
Far from you what's a lover suppose to do
Reiterating the challenges of distance and the desire for closeness.
When a picture just won't do
Stressing the limitation of pictures in conveying the emotional depth.
I just want to be close to you
Expressing the strong desire to be physically close to the loved one.
Far from you what's a lover suppose to do
Continuing to address the difficulties of being far from the partner.
When a picture just won't do
Emphasizing the inadequacy of pictures in capturing the relationship.
I just want to be close to you
Reiterating the longing for physical closeness and connection.
Far from you what's a lover suppose to do
Posing the question again, highlighting the challenges of distance.
When a picture just won't do
Stressing the limitations of pictures and the yearning for proximity.
I just want to be close to you
Expressing the strong desire to be physically close to the loved one.
Far from you what's a lover suppose to do
Reiterating the challenges of being far from the partner.
When a picture just won't do
Highlighting the inadequacy of pictures in conveying the emotions.
I just want to be close to you
Concluding with a strong desire for closeness and connection.
