D i s t a n c e

[Verse 1]
I need a little space and time, maybe like out on the moon
So, baby, get the rocket ship, ready set, I'm not coming back that soon
It's all I can do to stop myself from calling you up and causing hell
'Cause I know how it always ends, and I don't wanna play again

[Chorus]
So I'm just gonna love you from a distance
That don't mean that I'm not gonna miss you
Even if my lips don't feel your kisses
Baby, I'll still love you from a distance

[Verse 2]
You know I want the best for you, if it means setting you free
Even with an ego bruised, I would choose seeing you happy, oh
And that's what I'm gonna tell myself (Oh) when I'm crying alone and it hurts like hell
'Cause I know how it always ends, and I don't wanna play again

[Chorus]
So I'm just gonna love you from a distance
That don't mean that I'm not gonna miss you
Even if my lips don't feel your kisses
Baby, I'll still love you from a distance
I know we're taking space, that's okay
I know it's gonna change, that's okay
Even if it's over and it's different
Always gonna love you from a distance

[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I wish it didn't hurt to keep you close

[Chorus]
So I'm just gonna love you from a distance
That don't mean that I'm not gonna miss you
Even if my lips don't feel your kisses
Baby, I'll still love you (Yeah) from a distance
I know we're taking space, that's okay
I know it's gonna change, that's okay
Even if it's over and it's different
Always gonna love you from a distance

[Outro]
I know you're taking pictures down
Throwing out letters I've signed
But, baby, keep my sweatshirt warm
I'll be yours, maybe the next time, oh
