Distance
Omarion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The distance between our bodies
Make me feel like I want ya
Gyal I feel like I want ya
The distance between our bodies
Gyal you whine like a woah yeah
Put me gun in your holster
The distance between us
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Roll tide like Crimson
That's how I like my women
Like I like my chicken
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Gyal come closer to me
Gyal come closer to me

So much distance between us
Distance between our bodies
So much distance between us
Distance between our bodies, yeah
So much distance between us

Hit me on the phone
I be up late night talkin' like a smooth operator
Losin' all control
I need that poom-poom right now, ayy
Got me in the open
Like a drop top Chevy in the hood sittin' low
But I'm tryna put you in the Wraith
So girl don't get ghostin'

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Roll tide like Crimson
That's how I like my women
Like I like my chicken
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Gyal come closer to me
Gyal come closer to me

So much distance between us
Distance between our bodies
So much distance between us
Distance between our bodies, yeah
So much distance between us

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Roll tide like Crimson
That's how I like my women
Like I like my chicken
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Gyal come closer to me
Gyal come closer to me

So much distance between us
Distance between our bodies
So much distance between us




Distance between our bodies, yeah
So much distance between us

Overall Meaning

Omarion’s “Distance” is a song about wanting someone who is physically far away. The distance is causing Omarion to feel a strong desire for the person, and he compares the feeling to wanting to possess a gun. The song has an upbeat tempo and features Omarion’s smooth vocals. The chorus is simple, repeating the phrase “so much distance between us” multiple times, emphasizing the frustration and longing caused by the physical separation.


The first verse describes how the distance between the two bodies intensifies the singer's desire. He likens the feeling to wanting to possess a gun, with the woman acting as the holster. In the pre-chorus, Omarion talks about staying up late talking to the person and wanting their physical presence.


The most interesting aspect of the song is how the chorus repeats the same phrase, emphasizing the distance between the two bodies. But the instrumental section of the song mirrors the lyrics, with the instruments on opposite ends of the stereo soundfield, creating an atmosphere of space and distance between the sounds. Another interesting feature is how the song draws comparisons between the woman and food, with the line, “Like I like my chicken.”

He's in love with Africa. When African Americans visit Africa they can't help but fall in love. This is their home ❤️.

monique bedford go to West Africa. Either Ghana or Nigeria, one of the best African countries. Everyone loves our music. Davido is one of West Africa’s best artist.
