Distant Lover
David Lyrics

Distant lover, lover (lover, lover, lover)
The singer is referring to their lover who is far away and possibly out of reach.

So many miles away
The lover is geographically distant from the singer.

Heaven knows that I long for you
The singer misses their lover deeply and longs for their presence.

Every night, every night
The artist thinks of their lover constantly, especially at night.

I plan, sometimes I dance
In order to cope with the distance, the artist makes plans and finds joy in music and dance.

Through the day
The singer thinks of their lover constantly throughout the day as well.

You should think about me
The singer wants their lover to think of them often.

And say a prayer for me
The artist hopes their lover will pray for them.

Please, please baby
The artist is pleading with their lover to pay attention to their desires.

Think about me sometimes
The artist wants their lover to think of them and their relationship from time to time.

Think about me here
The singer wants their lover to remember them in their current state of misery and loneliness.

Here in misery
The artist is currently in a state of sadness and despair due to their lover's absence.

As I reminisce, oh baby, through our joyful summer together
The singer is thinking back to a happy time spent with their lover in the past.

The promises we made
The singer and their lover made commitments to each other in the past.

All the daily letters
The singer and their lover used to send letters to each other on a regular basis.

Then, all of the sudden
Something changed suddenly in the relationship.

Everything seemed to explode
The relationship became tumultuous or fell apart.

Now, I gaze out my window
The singer is currently reflecting on their love life and probable future without their lover.

Sugar, down a lonesome road
The singer is lonely and seeking comfort on their own path in life.

Sugar, how can you treat my heart
The artist is asking their lover how they could hurt them so much by leaving or becoming distant.

So mean and cruel
The artist feels like their lover's actions were callous and malicious.

Treat every moment that I spent with you
The artist believes that every moment spent with their lover was valuable and should not be taken for granted.

I treasure every like it was a precious jewel
The singer cherishes the memories they have shared with their lover as if they were valuable jewels.

Please, Lord have mercy
The artist is asking for divine intervention in their love life and relationship struggles.

Please, come back, baby
The singer desperately wants their lover to return to them.

Somethin' I wanna say
The singer has something important they would like to express to their lover.

When you left
The singer is referring to their lover leaving them or becoming distant.

You took all of me with you
The artist feels as if a part of them is missing since their lover left or became distant.

Do you wanna hear me scream
The artist is considering expressing their pain and frustration about their lover's departure in a dramatic way.

Come back and hold me, girl
The singer is longing for physical and emotional intimacy with their lover who has left or become distant.
