Long Distance
Brandy Lyrics

There's only so many songs that I can sing to pass the time
I've been trying to keep myself occupied, but my thoughts keep returning to you.

And I'm running out of things to do to get you off my mind, oh
I'm starting to feel like there's nothing I can do to distract myself from missing you.

All I have is this picture in a frame (oh, ah)
The only comfort I have is looking at a picture of you that I keep close by.

That I hold close to see your face everyday
I cling to this picture because it's the closest I can get to seeing you right now.

With you is where I'd rather be
I can't help but think about how much I want to be with you.

But we're stuck where we are
Unfortunately, we're both in our current locations and can't be together.

It's so hard, we're so far
The distance between us is weighing heavily on me.

This long distance is killin' me
Being apart like this is taking a real toll on my emotional wellbeing.

I wish that you were here with me
I long for your presence next to me.

Now the minutes feel like hours
Time is moving slowly and every moment feels longer than it should.

And the hours feel like days (whoa, oh)
Even just a few hours without you feels like much longer, like days.

While I'm away (away)
I am physically distant from you.

You know right now I can't be home (ah)
It's not possible for me to be with you at the moment.

But I'm comin' home soon (ah)
I have plans to return to you as soon as I can.

All I have is this picture in a frame (ah)
Again, the picture of you is all I have to connect me to you.

Can you hear me crying?
I am so overcome with emotion that I cannot hold back my tears.

Oh (oh ah, oh ah)
An expression of my sadness and longing for you.

With you is where I'd rather be (where I'd rather be), whoa
I keep coming back to this thought because I truly want to be with you.

Can you hear me crying? (oh, ah)
My emotions are still overwhelming me.

It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are
My heart aches for you and the distance between us feels unbearable.

You're so far, this long distance is killin' me
I'm struggling so much with the distance and it's taking a serious toll on me.

Oh (oh ah, oh ah)
I am still deeply saddened by our separation.

Oh, woah (oh, ah)
An expression of the emotional heaviness I am feeling.

Oh, no (oh ah, oh, ah)
I am really struggling and feeling down.

Stuck where we are, so hard, so far
Our situation feels like a trap and I am struggling to cope.

This long distance is killin' me
I'm getting more and more emotional and distressed by our separation.
