[Intro] Mmm… Late nights, long miles But your love still find me somehow Yeah… You my distance lover [Verse 1] Phone light glowing in the middle of the night Your name on my screen make everything feel right I can hear your smile every time you say my name Even with the distance, baby, it don’t feel the same Wish I could pull up and kiss you nice and slow Instead I send my love through these voice notes on your phone You tell me “hold on, baby, we gon’ make it through” So I hold onto your words like they the only truth [Pre-Chorus] It’s hard when I can’t hold you Hard when I can’t touch you But every single heartbeat Still running back to you [Chorus] You my distance lover Miles away but you still under my skin My distance lover No matter where you are, that’s where my heart has been And every night I close my eyes I feel your arms, I hear your sighs You my distance lover And I’m loving you across the wind [Verse 2] Different city, different time, same moon in the sky I be staring at the stars, knowing you looking too tonight Got your pictures in my head, got your message in my soul Trying to stay strong when all I want is to get close Some nights get lonely, I ain’t even gon’ lie Miss your perfume, miss your body by my side But I’d rather wait on something real than fake a love nearby ‘Cause what we got is too deep just to let it pass us by [Pre-Chorus] It’s hard when I can’t hold you Hard when I can’t touch you But every single heartbeat Still running back to you [Chorus] You my distance lover Miles away but you still under my skin My distance lover No matter where you are, that’s where my heart has been And every night I close my eyes I feel your arms, I hear your sighs You my distance lover And I’m loving you across the wind [Verse 3] I replay the things you told me when the days get cold How you said don’t let the silence make my spirit fold So I keep your little “I love you” tucked inside my chest Like a secret kind of fire that don’t ever rest One day it won’t be FaceTime, it’ll be your face No more counting down the hours, no more missing place I’ma meet you at the door and put these hands on your waist After all this waiting, baby, I won’t waste a second, no [Bridge] And when the road gets long And the nights feel too strong I just breathe you in Till the ache is gone We ain’t breaking, baby We just bending with the storm ‘Cause real love don’t die When it’s stretched too far [Verse 4] So till I get to hold you, I’ma love you from afar Send my heart in every text, every call, every bar You the reason I believe that forever can be true Even with the world between us, I still belong to you And when that day comes, when you finally in my arms I’ma make up for the distance, keep you safe from every harm No more sleeping by myself, no more dreaming through the dark Just me and you together, letting healing fill our hearts [Final Chorus] You my distance lover Miles away but you still under my skin My distance lover No matter where you are, that’s where my heart has been And every night I close my eyes I feel your arms, I hear your sighs You my distance lover And soon I won’t have to miss you again [Outro] Yeah… Distance lover Just hold on for me I’m holding on for you
