The Distance
Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Beautiful light, biting cold
Laughing like we'll never get old
Your pictures show me just what you see
Things unseen, yeah things I can be

Like and old friend you only met last week,
The view of the world that I did not seek
Talking without speaking let the world go by
Just sitting, just being by each other's side

I saw her wisdom but not her bed, I slayed the demons in my head
I saw the small and I saw the distant
I remembered, I existed
Connection
Connection

Lost in ice and lost in snow
cnd those big brown eyes in the back row
What do they see man, what do they know?
I'm looking not seeing but just how do you show?

I saw her wisdom but not her bed, I slayed the demons in my head
I saw the small and I saw the distant
I remembered, I existed
Connection
Connection

Necessary distance, it confirms my existence
On a long, long road, that never, never gets old

I saw her wisdom but not her bed, I slayed the demons in my head
I saw the small and I saw the distant
I remembered, I existed
Connection
Connection

I saw her wisdom but not her bed, I slayed the demons in my head
I saw the small and I saw the distant
I remembered, I existed




Connection
Connection

Overall Meaning

The song "The Distance" by Smith & Mudd is a deeply emotional tribute to a lost love. The lyrics speak of the pain and regret felt by the singer as they reflect on the love that got away. The first verse sets the tone for the song, with the singer sitting alone and crying over the lost love. They wonder where things went wrong and express regret for taking too long to recover from whatever caused their separation. The second verse reveals that the lost love, Taylor, is now on the other side of the world. The singer acknowledges that the distance between them is the cause of their separation, but they also express a desire to be close to Taylor again.


The chorus is a poignant repetition of the singer's feelings of loss and regret. They don't want to hide from Taylor and feel the pain of being without them. The love the singer feels for Taylor is true, but the distance between them makes it impossible for them to be together. They imagine what it would be like if they had been able to meet up again and feel a deep sense of longing and jealousy for the person Taylor is with now.


Overall, "The Distance" is a deeply personal song that speaks to the pain of lost love and the regret that comes with it. The lyrics are simple and straightforward, but they capture the essence of what it's like to love someone from afar and feel like there's no way to bridge the distance between you.
