LDR Song Hits: The Distance by Oliver James

If you dear readers (are there any more out there?) have noticed, I have been quiet silent earlier this week. Aside from the much welcome busyness of working here and there, Dodong and I have gone through some long distance relationship squabbles (which I will share on a different post later this week).

I am just happy to have stumbled upon another LDR song…on a happier note. I find it pleasantly strange that musicians never cease to run out of good material even if it is just about long distance relationships which is not the norm.

Sharing with you the lovely lyrics, after the jump…I am sure if you're in an all LDR you'd super relate to this

The sky has lost its color
The sun has turned to gray
At least that’s how it feels to me
Whenever you’re away

I crawl up in the corner
To watch the minutes pass
Each one brings me closer to
The time you’re coming back

I can’t take the distance
I can’t take the miles
I can’t take the time until I next see you smile
I can’t take the distance
And I’m not ashamed
That with every breath I take I’m calling your name
I can’t take the distance

I still believe my feelings
But sometimes I feel too much
I make believe you’re close to me
But it ain’t close enough
Not nearly close enough

I can’t take the distance
I can’t take the miles
I can’t take the time until I next see you smile
I can’t take the distance
And I’m not ashamed
That with every breath I take I’m calling your name

I’d breathe fire and I’d be free
To be by your side, I’d do anything
I can’t take the distance

I will go the distance
I will go the miles
That’s how much you mean to me

I can’t take the distance
I can’t take these miles
I can’t take the time until I next see you smile
I can’t take the distance
And I’m not ashamed
That with every breath I take I’m calling your name
I can’t take the distance

HAAAY. This song just embodies the love-hate relationship I do have with the LDR situation. I love it but there are times I just hate it with such gusto. Like the lyrics say, you can't take it but you will take it all because you LOVE that person. Love really does make you do crazy seemingly impossible stuff right?

Love the distance,
