Distance
Ikon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Distance keeps us apart
Distance will break my heart
So silent my death will be
No distance will cover me

Whenever I hear your name (2)

So desperate to end this game
You'll learn I am not the same
So distant our lives will be
I hope that you're not like me

Whenever I hear your name (2)

I wonder what will come next
I turn now to face the test
Surrounded by enemy
No place there for you and me





Whenever I hear your name (2)
