[Verse 1]
What's it mean Delphine
Delphine, Delphine
This letter you wrote to me
Does it read goodbye
Maybe a strange hello
You know I've always been the first
To try something new for you and me
I know the distance can confuse your mind
Give it time, Delphine you will see
[Pre-Chorus]
What's it mean Delphine
Delphine, Delphine
All this bit about growing pains
And feeling lost
Lost
[Chorus]
I know exactly where you are Delphine
You're right here with me, where you belong
I know the distance can confuse your mind
Give it time Delphine, give it time
Time, a little bit of time, time
[Verse 2]
Oscar's sick again
We should stop by
Iced tea with Liv
She comes at 5
I found your favorite read
Behind the bed
What's the matter
Sweet sweet, Delphine
[Chorus]
I know exactly who you are Delphine
You're the one for me, Delphine
I know the distance can confuse your mind
Give it time, Delphine, give it time
Time, a little bit of time, time
I know exactly who you are Delphine
You're the one for me, Delphine
I know the distance can confuse your mind
Give it time, Delphine, give it time
