Long Distance
Nicotine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I LOST MY SELF-CONTROL
I FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU
SINCE I FIRST MET YOU
I CAN NOT STOP MYSELF

ALL THROUGH MY LIFE
PLEASE WATCH MY EYES
I WANNA HOLD YOU
STOP THE TIME FOR NOW

HOW MANY DAYS SHOULD I COUNT DOWN
TO SEE YOU HERE AGAIN?
YOU LEAVE ME ALONE
AND YOU LEFT MY PLACE
HOW MANY TIMES SHOULD I GO TO THE STATION
TO SEE YOU OFF?
I'M STANDING ALONE AND I WATCH THE TRAIN
UNTIL IT'S GONE AWAY
IT'S GONE SO FAR AWAY

LONG TIME, NO SEE, BABE!
I WANNA TALK TO YOU
I CALL LONG-DISTANCE
TO LISTEN TO YOUR VOICE

I BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE
WHEN I SEE YOU AGAIN




I BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE GONNA DECIDE NOW
TO SEE ME AGAIN

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Long Distance" by Nicotine depict a person who has lost their self-control and fallen in love with someone they met. The singer is unable to stop themselves from feeling this way, and they yearn to hold the person and stop time. The chorus then questions how long they have to wait until they see this love interest again, as they have already parted ways. The person is standing alone, watching the train pass by until it is out of sight.


The verse that follows conveys the singer's longing to talk to the person, and so they call them long distance to hear their voice. The final lines of the song express a sense of hope that the person will see them again, that maybe they will decide to return and be together.


Overall, the lyrics depict the agony of being separated from a loved one and the desperate longing to see them once again. The singer's self-control has already been lost, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to be reunited with the one they love.
