Distance
Nicky Romero Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too far gone, too far gone

When we were apart
All I'd ever do is think about you
Syncopated hearts
Lightyears away but I still feel your every move
Like you're in my arms, so when you're not
And now that you are, it's like you're not

Well, I've been holding on too long
Too far gone, too hard to reach us
Turning right, turning wrong
Could've been a hundred reasons
I don't know how we got lost
I don't know how we get back
We're too far gone, don't wanna feel this

Distance between us
Distance between us
Too far gone, too far
The distance between us
Distance between us
Too far gone, too far gone

Baby, time is a fine line between lovers and strangers
'Cause I'm lying here at night right next to you and I hate this
It ain't right, but it's like I'm out of sync
Out of everything we used to dream of
Now it's like we'll never be enough, oh

I've been holding on too long
Too far gone, too hard to reach us
Turning right, turning wrong
Could've been a hundred reasons
I don't know how we got lost
I don't know how we get back
We're too far gone, don't wanna feel this

Distance between us
Distance between us
Too far gone, too far
The distance between us
Distance between us
Too far gone, too far gone

When we were apart
All I'd ever do is think about you
Syncopated hearts
I don't wanna feel this

Distance between us
Distance between us
Too far gone, too far
The distance between us
Distance between us
Too far gone, too far gone

Too far gone, too far gone




Too far gone, too far
The distance between us

Overall Meaning

The song "Distance" by Nicky Romero and Olivia Holt is a heartbreakingly emotional song about a couple that has grown too far apart to be able to repair their relationship. The first verse highlights the feelings of a person who is dealing with the absence of their loved one. It highlights how the heart still feels connected to the other person, even when they're not physically close. The second verse goes on to describe how the distance has grown into something larger than what can be fixed with just words. The line “Turning right, turning wrong, could’ve been a hundred reasons” suggests that there is no clear way to trace what went wrong, as if they've lost connection in every direction. They both feel lost and unsure about how to move forward, knowing that they’ve become “too far gone” to mend what was once a beautiful relationship.


The chorus emphasizes the main theme of the song, "Distance between us, too far gone, too far gone". It’s like they’ve already accepted their fate, knowing that they can't go back to the way things used to be. Furthermore, the lines "time is a fine line between lovers and strangers" accentuate the height of the situation; they are now strangers to each other, as if they had never met. The bridge indicates how the person is trying to hold onto the relationship, but it feels like a futile effort. The phrase "out of sync" underscores how the couple not only lacks physical proximity, but their emotions and thoughts are also not aligned anymore. The repetition of the title phrase and the closing lines signify their regret about not being able to secure the bond they shared.

[Intro: Olivia Holt]
Too far gone, too far gone

[Verse 1: Olivia Holt]
When we were apart
All I'd ever do is think about you
Syncopated hearts
Lightyears away but I still feel your every move
Like you're in my arms, so when you're not
And now that you are, it's like you're not

[Pre-Chorus: Olivia Holt]
Well, I've been holding on too long
Too far gone, too hard to reach us
Turning right, turning wrong
Could've been a hundred reasons

I don't know how we get back
We're too far gone, don't wanna feel this

[Chorus: Olivia Holt]
Distance between us
Distance between us
Too far gone, too far
The distance between us
Distance between us
Too far gone, too far gone

[Verse 2: Olivia Holt]
Baby, timing is a fine line between lovers and strangers
'Cause I'm lying here at night right next to you and I hate this
It ain't right, but it's like I'm out of sync
Out of everything we used to dream of
Now it's like we'll never be enough, oh

[Pre-Chorus: Olivia Holt]
I've been holding on too long
Too far gone, too hard to reach us
Turning right, turning wrong
Could've been a hundred reasons
I don't know how we got lost
I don't know how we get back
We're too far gone, don't wanna feel this

[Chorus: Olivia Holt]
Distance between us
Distance between us
Too far gone, too far
The distance between us
Distance between us
Too far gone, too far gone

When we were apart
All I'd ever do is think about you
Syncopated hearts
I don't wanna feel this

[Chorus: Olivia Holt]

Distance between us
Too far gone, too far
The distance between us
Distance between us
Too far gone, too far gone

Too far gone, too far gone
Too far gone, too far
The distance between us

Too far gone, too far gone
When we were apart
All I'd ever do is think about you
Syncopated hearts
Lightyears away but I still feel your every move
Like you're in my arms, so when you're not
And now that you are, it's like you're not
Well, I've been holding on too long
Too far gone, too hard to reach us
Turning right, turning wrong
Could've been a hundred reasons
I don't know how we got lost
I don't know how we get back
We're too far gone, don't wanna feel this
Distance between us
Distance between us
Too far gone, too far
The distance between us
Distance between us
Too far gone, too far gone
Baby, time is a fine line between lovers and strangers
'Cause I'm lying here at night right next to you and I hate this
It ain't right, but it's like I'm out of sync
Out of everything we used to dream of
Now it's like we'll never be enough, oh
I've been holding on too long
Too far gone, too hard to reach us
Turning right, turning wrong
Could've been a hundred reasons
I don't know how we got lost
I don't know how we get back
We're too far gone, don't wanna feel this
