Distance
JACK & JACK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sure our hearts are better off apart
At this point I don't know which way I'm going
But I keep going
I couldn't stand the way that we were living
Stuck on all those sorries from the start
For what it's worth know that we're forgiven
That's the hardest part
Somewhere dancing out beneath the pines
I can't find you
Love of mine
They say you can't go back to the beginning
But I still see it clearly in my mind
Your laughter in my dreams is much more real to me
Than oceans so wide
So look for me wherever you can find me
In the little things we always loved the most
The flowers to the trees the music in the breeze
Most of all the moon that guides us home
Where are you
Somewhere dancing out beneath the pines
I can't find you
Love of mine
Where are you
Chasing down the promise in your eyes
I'm right behind you
Love of mine
I'm right behind you
Love of mine
But I won't find you
Love of mine
The lyrics to JACK & JACK's song Distance delve into the complicated emotions and conflicts that arise in a relationship when distance and miscommunication come into play. The opening lines depict the unease and apprehension that can arise when one partner is seemingly ignoring the other - missed calls, ignored texts, and late night worry all contribute to a sense of distance and disconnect. However, the next line suggests that despite these feelings, the singer cannot help but continue to obsess over their partner and their relationship.
The song touches on the themes of trust and lust in a relationship- the singer questioning if love can exist without them. This could highlight how when there is a lack of trust or lust in a relationship, it can cause the strong bond to dissipate. The chorus emphasizes how the two partners have come too far to let the relationship fail and fall apart, and begs the question - what do they do now? Despite the conflict, the singer seems ready to fight for the relationship by expressing his continued interest in his partner, even as things are falling apart.
The music video of the song shows the struggles and attraction between the two partners. The singer is seen trying to get his partner's attention and overcome the distance between them. The video showcases the conflict and the desire to fix the relationship, overlaying the lyrics with visuals of the singer struggling to bridge the gap.
