Distance
Jireh Lim Lyrics

Baby, I wish you’re here right next to me,.
Expressing the desire to be with the person and feeling their physical presence.

But you’re miles and miles away from me,
Acknowledging that the person is geographically distant.

Your sweet voice on the phone,
Feeling comforted by the sound of the person's voice.

Brings sweet melody to my ears,
Comparing the person's voice to a beautiful tune.

I could spend my day just listening to it
Expressing the desire to hear the person's voice all day long.

Time will come the day we’ll be together again,
Believing that the distance is temporary and that they will be reunited.

And all the waiting will be worth it for sure,
Assuming that the challenges of distance will be overcome with the reward of being together.

Maybe I thought for once that you and I will never work,
Doubting the possibility of the relationship being successful in the past.

But I am holding on to your heart over a pleasure to meet,
Valuing the emotional connection with the person over the physical aspect of being together.

I am surrounded by ones that are closer,
Being in the presence of other people who are physically nearer but feeling emotionally distant from them.

But all I can see is you,
The person being the focus of attention and longing despite others being around.

Staring smiling at me,
Imagining the person looking at them with happiness and love.

I would never break this promise,
Making a commitment to stay loyal and faithful to the person despite the distance and challenges.

Until the day you say don’t bother coz you found another,
The promise only being broken if the person moves on and finds someone else.

I never thought we’ll be stronger.
Reflecting on how distance has actually made the relationship stronger and more meaningful.

From sunlight to moonlight.
Emphasizing the longing for the person all throughout the day and night.

Everyday I long for your touch and kiss,
Feeling the desire to physically be with the person and have intimate moments with them.

Only in my dreams I could get closer to you anytime,
Finding solace in the fact that the person is always present in their dreams despite being distant in reality.

Coz there I can fly for free.
Dreaming of being with the person gives a sense of freedom and escape from the constraints of distance.

Why oh why do I have to be so far away,
Expressing frustration and sadness about the distance.

But for someone like you I’m willing to stay,
Being willing to endure the challenges of distance for the sake of the person and the relationship.

Sooner I’ll be by your side,
Having the hope and belief that they will be physically with the person soon.

Maybe I thought for once that could find another you,
Entertaining the possibility of finding someone else in the past.

But as you see I was wrong cause there is no one like you,
Realizing that the person is truly unique and irreplaceable.

Until the day you say don’t bother coz you found another,
Making a promise to stay loyal and faithful until the person finds someone else.
