Jordy wrote Long Distance after getting inspired by a long distance friendship which began when he received a flirty Instagram direct message in September 2020 from a guy who found him through TikTok. He was being quite bold and was sending flirty messages, even giving Jordy his number, so they star...
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I got pulled in
I met a guy on the internet last week
I'm so impulsive
Got a flight to the East Coast already
I get indulgent 'cause I don't get very lucky
Finding ones who have emotions
So fuck it, I'm just living in the moment, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep saying to myself
That there's somebody somewhere else
It might not be here in LA
So even if you're far away
I'll take the long distance
Don't care where you're living
If you're something worth missing
Then it's alright, I don't mind the space between us
If it means I can keep ya
I don't think we need a reason why
[Chorus]
I think that I would rather be distant with you
Than feel distant with someone who is standing in front of me
But I can't even feel a thing
I would rather be distant with you
Than feel distant with someone who is living right down the street
But don't feel close to me
[Verse 2]
Know that my ex said that we couldn't make it work apart
And so we ended 'cause he thought for me it'd be too hard
Thought it was useless, but the truth is
It was just another one of his excuses
And I think that maybe you and me could do this, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep saying to myself
That there's somebody somewhere else
It might not be here in LA
So even if you're far away
I'll take the long distance
Don't care where you're living
If you're something worth missing
Then it's alright, I don't mind the space between us
If it means I can keep ya
I don't think we need a reason why
[Chorus]
I think that I would rather be distant with you
Than feel distant with someone who is standing in front of me
But I can't even feel a thing
I would rather be distant with you
Than feel distant with someone who is living right down the street
But don't feel close to me
[Outro]
Long distance
(I'd rather be distant, distant with you)
Long distance (Oh, oh)
I'll take the long distance
Long distance
I'll take the long distance
