Written by Frankie Mish, Lee Albrecht, and Hunter Courtright, “Distance” is a song about loss, more specifically, losing someone very close to you.
For me [Hunter] it’s about witnessing my grandfather struggle with dementia. His passing really hit me and it was a very hard and emotional experience...
Forced to watch your light change
Fade and flicker with the days
A lifetime of memories dissolve in the haze
You don't recognize my face
Barely remember my name
I know nothing lasts forever, but does it need to end this way?
Bloodshot eyes
Closing for the last time
Drifting voices carry you
Just fall
You fought this for so long
No one will blame you if you decide to let go
This crippling disease consumes your entire being
Just let go
Wherеver you end up
You lived a lifе worth being proud of
Escape from the inside
This deadly dull can finally reside
Like a ghost in my memory
I can't see you, but I can hear you
It still feels like you never left me
I can't let go
I won't let go of these
Bloodshot eyes
Closing for the last time
Drifting voices carry you
Just fall
You fought this for so long
No one will blame you if you decide to let go
You're gone
But you can't be erased
There's still a part of you
Living in me
You're gone
