Long Distance
Megan & Liz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard you were just passing through
I never meant to get attached to you
The day we met, I still hold onto
It was out of the blue
You played a show
And we locked eyes, by the stereo
I fell into your eyes so blue
No matter how it goes, goes, goes
I just want you to know, know, know
I'm reminiscing, thinking about us kissing
Now could you take, take, take the million miles away, way, way?
It's you I'm missing
In this long distance

We keep in touch, though out of reach
I almost wish we didn't meet
It's not enough to keep a romance sweet
I was out of my mind to let you in
I should have thought of you as just a friend
But now you're got me right until the end

No matter how it goes, goes, goes
I just want you to know, know, know
I'm reminiscing, thinking about us kissing
Now could you take, take, take the million miles away, way, way?
It's you I'm missing
In this long

But it makes a good story anyway
All the memories created in one day
I guess they found a place to stay
So we're keeping up with this phone tag
Missing messages and signs that we're not okay
Just pretend you feel the same

That no matter how it goes, goes, goes
I just want you to know, know, know
I'm reminiscing, thinking about us kissing
Now could you take, take, take the million miles away, way, way?




It's you I'm missing
In this long distance

Line by Line Meaning

I heard you were just passing through
I was told that you wouldn't be staying long


I never meant to get attached to you
From the beginning, I didn't plan on developing feelings for you


The day we met, I still hold onto
I still remember the exact day we first met


It was out of the blue
Our meeting was unexpected


You played a show
You were performing that night


And we locked eyes, by the stereo
Our eyes met while we were near the singers


I fell into your eyes so blue
I was entranced by your blue eyes


No matter how it goes, goes, goes
No matter what happens


I just want you to know, know, know
I want to make it clear to you


I'm reminiscing, thinking about us kissing
I'm recalling the times we kissed and how it felt


Now could you take, take, take the million miles away, way, way?
Could you make the distance between us disappear?


It's you I'm missing
I'm feeling a strong desire for you


We keep in touch, though out of reach
We communicate even though we are physically apart


I almost wish we didn't meet
Sometimes I wish we hadn't crossed paths


It's not enough to keep a romance sweet
Our communication is not sufficient to sustain a romantic relationship


I was out of my mind to let you in
In hindsight, I realize I was foolish for letting myself become emotionally involved with you


I should have thought of you as just a friend
I should have kept my feelings for you as strictly platonic


But now you're got me right until the end
Now my feelings for you are so strong that they will last until the end


But it makes a good story anyway
Our situation is still interesting and captivating, regardless of the outcome


All the memories created in one day
We made a lot of memories in a short period of time


I guess they found a place to stay
Those memories have stayed with us and have become an important part of our relationship


So we're keeping up with this phone tag
We're struggling to keep up with each other's schedules and communicate through phone calls and messages


Missing messages and signs that we're not okay
Sometimes we don't receive each other's messages, which can indicate that something is wrong


Just pretend you feel the same
Sometimes, it's easier to pretend that we still have the same feelings for each other

I heard you were just passing through
I never meant to get attached to you
The day we met - I still hold onto
It was out of the blue
You played a show
And we locked eyes, by the stereo
I fell into your eyes so blue

No matter how it goes, goes, goes
I just want you to know, know, know
I'm reminiscing, thinking about us kissing
Now could you take, take, take the million miles away, way, way?
It's you I'm missing
In this long distance

We keep in touch, though out of reach
I almost wish we didn't meet
It's not enough to keep a romance sweet
I was out of my mind to let you in
I should have thought of you as just a friend
But now you're got me right until the end

No matter how it goes, goes, goes
I just want you to know, know, know
I'm reminiscing, thinking about us kissing
Now could you take, take, take the million miles away, way, way?
It's you I'm missing
In this long...

But it makes a good story anyway
All the memories created in one day
I guess they found a place to stay
So we're keeping up with this phone tag
Missing messages and signs that we're not okay
Just pretend you feel the same

That no matter how it goes, goes, goes
I just want you to know, know, know
I'm reminiscing, thinking about us kissing
Now could you take, take, take the million miles away, way, way?
It's you I'm missing
In this long distance
