Romantic Love Songs For Long-Distance Relationships

1. When You’re Gone – Avril Lavigne

When one part of your heart is pulled away by distance, the other part will long and wait and cry, hoping to be reunited soon. This song embodies the turmoil inside you because of separation.

Lyrics

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I’d
Need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I’m alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you’re gone
The pieces of my heart are missin’ you
When you’re gone
The face I came to know is missin’, too
When you’re gone
The words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you

I’ve never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you’re gone
The pieces of my heart are missin’ you
When you’re gone
The face I came to know is missin’, too
When you’re gone
The words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah, yeah
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do, I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe; I need to feel you here with me
Yeah

When you’re gone
The pieces of my heart are missin’ you
When you’re gone
The face I came to know is missin’, too
When you’re gone
The words I need to hear
Will always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you

2. Here Without You – 3 Doors Down

Sometimes, it is not just distance that leaves you feeling isolated from your love. Circumstances can also play villians. But guess what? Distance is just a number, and if your relationship is meant to be, it’s meant for them!

Lyrics

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face.
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don’t think I can look at this the same.
All the miles that separate
Disappear now when I’m dreamin’ of your face.

I’m here without you baby
But you’re still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time.
I’m here without you baby
But you’re still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, it’s only you and me … yeah

The miles just keep rollin’
As the people leave their way to say hello
I’ve heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go … oh yeah

I’m here without you baby
But you’re still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time.
I’m here without you baby
But you’re still with me in my dreams
And tonight, it’s only you and me.

Everything I know, and anywhere I go,
It gets hard but it won’t take away my love.
And when the last one falls, when its all said and done.
It gets hard but it won’t take away my love … whoa oh oh

I’m here without you baby
But you’re still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time.

I’m here without you baby
But you’re still with me in my dreams
And tonight, it’s only you and me… yeah oh yeah
Oh oh

An anonymous blogger who likes to be called Guru comments that this song by 3 Doors Down reminded him of his woman. He says, “This song reflects my feelings when I am missing the person that I’m in love with. Though I am not very far away from her, I still miss her a lot nevertheless. So here’s to being here without you (i).”

3. Nothing Like Us – Justin Bieber

Some relationships are never meant to be. And who better than Justin Beiber can share the pain of a broken relationship.

Lyrics

Lately I’ve been thinking, thinking about what we had
And I know it was hard, it was all that we knew, yeah!

Have you been drinking, to take all the pain away?
I wish that I could give you what you deserve
‘Cause nothing can ever, ever replace you
Nothing can make me feel like you do, yeah!

You know there’s no one, I can relate to
I know we won’t find a love that’s so true

There’s nothing like us
There’s nothing like you for me
Together through the storm

There’s nothing like us
There’s nothing like you for me, together

I gave you everything babe
Well, everything I had to give
Girl, why would you push me away?

Lost in confusion, like an illusion
You know I’m used to making your day

But that is the past now, we didn’t last now
I guess that this is meant to be

Tell me, was it worth it? We were so perfect
But baby I just want you to see

There’s nothing like us
There’s nothing like you for me
Together through the storm

There’s nothing like us
There’s nothing like you for me, together

There’s nothing like us
There’s nothing like you for me
Together through the storm

There’s nothing like us
There’s nothing like you for me, together

4. Long Distance – Megan, Liz

Talk about missing someone badly, and this song comes to mind. It tells how cherishing the little moments is all that you are left yearning for on the other side of the phone.

Lyrics

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

5. Many the Miles – Sara Bareilles

Love can make people do crazy things. Even something like following your loved one across the globe seems the best thing to do.

Lyrics

There’s too many things that I haven’t done yet
There’s too many sunsets I haven’t seen
You can’t waste the day wishing it’d slow down
You would’ve thought by now
I’d have learned something

I made up my mind when I was a young girl
I’ve been given this one world
I won’t worry it away, no
Now and again I lose sight of the good life
I get stuck in a low light
But then love comes in

How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles and I’ll be happy to follow you, love

I do what I can wherever I end up
To keep giving my good love
And spreading it around
‘Cause I’ve had my fair share of take care and goodbyes
I’ve learned how to cry
And I’m better for that

Sing, how far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Send me the miles and I’ll be happy to, yeah

Red letter day and I’m in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would just carry me away
I’ve been talking about
Don’t know if it’s helping or not
But surely something has got to, got to, got to give
‘Cause I can’t keep waiting to live

How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles and I’ll be happy to yeah
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
I’ve been talking to God, don’t know if it’s helping or not
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Ooh, send me the miles and I’ll be happy to
Follow you, love

There’s too many things I haven’t done yet
There’s too many sunsets I haven’t seen

6. The Girl – City and Colour

It takes not one but both partners to make a long-distance relationship work. And when your partner works hard for it, let them know how much you appreciate it.

Lyrics

I wish I could do better by you,
’cause that’s what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work.

While I’m off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I’m yours to keep
My beautiful girl

When you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave
Fulfill someone else’s dreams
I think I might totally be lost
You don’t ask for no diamond rings no delicate string of pearls
That’s why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

One, two, one two three four
I wish I could do better by you
’cause it’s what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
in order for this to work

While I’m off chasing my own dreams (my own dreams)
sailing around the world (’round the world)
Please know that I’m yours to keep
My beautiful girl

And when you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave and fulfill someone else’s dreams
I think I might totally be lost

But you don’t ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of pearls)
That’s why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

But you don’t ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of Pearls)
That’s why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl.

7. Jet Lag – Simple Plan (Feat. Natasha Bedingfield)

Catching up with someone from another time zone can drive anyone nuts. But when the time comes to meet them finally, even a few seconds of wait feels unbearable.

Lyrics

So jet-lagged

What time is it where you are?
I miss you more than anything
And back at home you feel so far
Waitin’ for the phone to ring
It’s gettin’ lonely livin’ upside down
I don’t even wanna be in this town
Tryin’ to figure out the time zones makin’ me crazy

You say good morning
When it’s midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it’s driving me mad
I miss you so bad
And my heart, heart, heart is so jet-lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet-lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet-lagged, is so jet-lagged

What time is it where you are?
Five more days and I’ll be home
I keep your picture in my car
I hate the thought of you alone
I’ve been keepin’ busy all the time
Just to try to keep you off my mind
Tryin’ to figure out the time zones makin’ me crazy

You say good morning
When it’s midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it’s drivin’ me mad
I miss you so bad
And my heart, heart, heart is so jet-lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet-lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet-lagged, is so jet lagged

I miss you so bad [x5]
I wanna share your horizon
I miss you so bad
And see the same sun rising
I miss you so bad
And turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me

You say good morning
When it’s midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it’s drivin’ me mad
I miss when you say good morning
But it’s midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it’s drivin’ me mad
I miss you so bad
And my heart, heart, heart is so jet-lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet-lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet-lagged, is so jet-lagged, is so jet-lagged

8. Someday – Bryan Greenberg

You may not be able to be in one place for long, but when things get tough, your heart wishes to be close to your love. It may be for just a single day, but you know who you would like to go back to.
Video Song:

Lyrics

It’s the biggest storm in years, they say
Couldn’t take a plane so I hopped a train
Well I’d like to stay
In a stormy winter day
So I’ll come back to you someday

As the states rolled by, it’s all so clear
I’m everywhere but I’m never right here
It’s always the same
Constant change
But I’ll come back to you someday

So close, so far
So long the world is
Spinning me away

I’ll travel night just to see your face
The way you touch, the way you taste.
Even if only for a day
Coz I’ll come back to you someday

I’ll speak the truth, it’s all I know
As your tears fall to the snow
We both know, tonight that I can’t stay
But I’ll come back to you someday

So close, so far
So long the world is
Spinning me away

So close, so far
So long the world
It’s spinning me away

So close, so far
So long the world is
Spinning me away

Oh yeah, yeah …
Spinning me away

9. All of the Stars – Ed Sheeran

Ever looked at the sky and wondered if your loved one sees it too? Ed Sheeran encapsulates this in this song.

Lyrics

It’s just another night
And I’m staring at the moon
I saw a shooting star
And thought of you
I sang a lullaby
By the waterside and knew
If you were here,
I’d sing to you
You’re on the other side
As the skyline splits in two
I’m miles away from seeing you
I can see the stars
From America
I wonder, do you see them, too?

So open your eyes and see
The way our horizons meet
And all of the lights will lead
Into the night with me
And I know these scars will bleed
But both of our hearts believe
All of these stars will guide us home

I can hear your heart
On the radio beat
They’re playing ‘Chasing Cars’
And I thought of us
Back to the time,
You were lying next to me
I looked across and fell in love
So I took your hand
Back through lamp lit streets I knew
Everything led back to you
So can you see the stars?
Over Amsterdam
You’re the song my heart is
Beating to

So open your eyes and see
The way our horizons meet
And all of the lights will lead
Into the night with me
And I know these scars will bleed
But both of our hearts believe
All of these stars will guide us home

And, oh, I know
And oh, I know, oh
I can see the stars
From America

10. Come Back… Be Here – Taylor Swift

You may kiss them goodbye, but the moment you realize they won’t be around you, your heart will want to pull them back in your embrace.

Lyrics

You said it in a simple way
4AM, the second day
How strange that I don’t know you at all
Stumbled through the long goodbye
One last kiss, then catch your flight
Right when I was just about to fall

I told myself, don’t get attached
But in my mind I play it back
Spinning faster than the plane that took you

And this is when the feeling sinks in
I don’t wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
I guess you’re in New York today
I don’t wanna need you this way
Come back, be here
Come back, be here

The delicate beginning rush
The feeling you can know so much
Without knowing anything at all
And now that I can put this down
If I had known what I know now
I never would have played so nonchalant

Taxi cabs and busy streets
That never bring you back to me
I can’t help but wish you took me with you

And this is when the feeling sinks in
I don’t wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
I guess you’re in London today
And I don’t wanna need you this way
Come back, be here
Come back, be here

ah-ah, oh-oh
Ah-ah, oh-oh
(Aah) ah-ah, oh-oh

This is falling in love in the cruelest way
This is falling for you and you are worlds away

New York, be here
But you’re in London and I break down
‘Cause it’s not fair that you’re not around

This is when the feeling sinks in
I don’t wanna miss you like this
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
I guess you’re in New York today
And I don’t wanna need you this way
Come back, be here
Come back, be here
ah-ah, oh-oh
I don’t wanna miss you like this

(Aah) ah-ah, oh-oh
come back, be here
(Aah) come back, be here

11. I Want Crazy – Hunter Hayes

Love doesn’t feel like love if you haven’t done something crazy for a loved one. And when you feel like you are losing your mind, just get on that flight and go see them.

Lyrics

I’m booking myself a one way flight
I gotta see the color in your eyes
And telling myself I’m gonna be alright
Without you baby is a waste of time

Yeah, our first date, girl, the seasons changed
It got washed away in a summer rain
You can’t undo a fall like this
‘Cause love don’t know what distance is
Yeah, I know it’s crazy

But I don’t want “good” and I don’t want “good enough”
I want “can’t sleep, can’t breathe without your love”
Front porch and one more kiss, it doesn’t make sense to anybody else
Who cares if you’re all I think about,
I’ve searched the world and I know now,
It ain’t right if you ain’t lost your mind
Yeah, I don’t want easy, I want crazy
Are you with me baby? Let’s be crazy

Yeah

I wanna be scared, don’t wanna know why
Wanna feel good, don’t have to be right
The world makes all kinds of rules for love
I say you gotta let it do what it does

I don’t want just another hug and a kiss goodnight
Catchin’ up calls and a date sometimes
I love that we’re rebels, and we still believe
We’re the kind of crazy people wish that they could be, yeah

Oh, and I know we’re crazy, yeah

But I don’t want “good” and I don’t want “good enough”
I want “can’t sleep, can’t breathe without your love”
Front porch and one more kiss, it doesn’t make sense to anybody else
Who cares if you’re all I think about,
I’ve searched the world and I know now,
It ain’t right if you ain’t lost your mind
Yeah, I don’t want easy, I want crazy
You with me baby? Let’s be crazy

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

No, I don’t want “good” and I don’t want “good enough”
I want “can’t sleep, can’t breathe without your love”
Front porch and one more kiss, it doesn’t make sense to anybody else
Who cares if you’re all I think about,
I’ve searched the world and I know now,
It ain’t right if you ain’t lost your mind
Yeah, I don’t want easy, I want crazy

Yeah, look at us baby, tonight the midnight rules are breaking
There’s no such thing as wild enough,
And maybe we just think too much
Who needs to play it safe in love?
Let’s be crazy!

Na na na na oh na na na na oh

Who cares if we’re crazy? We gotta be crazy
I know that we’re crazy, so let’s be crazy
Yeah…

12. Love Remembers – Craig Morgan

Love hurts! Yes, it does because the heart remembers everything — especially the one you love and cannot have.

Lyrics

You can’t forget what love was wearing
When it walked out your front door
Where you fell down to your knees
And can’t forget the kind of suitcase
That was packed out on the sidewalk
While you cried there beggin’ please
But love remembers

You can lie and tell yourself
You’re over it and someone else will take love’s place
And this is for the best
You can lie in that bed
In a stranger’s arms reachin’ for comfort
Close your eyes and still get no rest

Cause love remembers
The smell of a summer day
Lying in a hammock over fresh cut grass
And the promise of forever
Yeah love remembers
The sound of the pouring rain
Beatin’ down on the top of a car
On the side of the road
Where it couldn’t wait
Yeah love remembers

You might convince yourself
There’s shelter in a bottle
For a while there it might numb the pain
But when it hits you, then it hits you
That love’s still gone and you’ll be wishin’
That you’d poured it down the drain
‘Cause love remembers

The taste of cotton candy lip gloss
On the lips of a long kiss
And the plans they made together
Yeah love remembers
To feel the fingertips
Running through soakin’ wet hair
On the bank after a midnight swim
Yeah love remembers

Yeah love remembers
The smell of a summer day
Lying in a hammock over fresh cut grass
And the promise of forever
Love remembers
The sound of the pouring rain
Beating down on the top of a car
On the side of the road
Where it couldn’t wait
Yeah love remembers

Love remembers
(Love remembers)
(The sound of the pouring rain)
Beating down on the top of a car
(On the side of the road)
(Where it couldn’t wait)

13. No Air – Jordin Sparks (Feat. Chris Brown)

It is true that when you are truly attached to someone, their absence feels suffocating. This is the perfect song that represents just that.

Lyrics

Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no air?

If I should die before I wake
It’s ’cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air, oh

I’m here alone, didn’t wanna leave
My heart won’t move, it’s incomplete
Is there a way I could make you understand?

But how
Do you expect me, to live alone with just me?
‘Cause my world revolves around you
It’s so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no air?
Can’t live, can’t breathe with no air
That’s how I feel whenever you ain’t there
There’s no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon’ be without me?
If you ain’t here I just can’t breathe
There’s no air, no air
No air air, No air air

I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew right off
The ground and float to you
There’s no gravity to hold me down, for real

But somehow I’m still alive inside
You took my breath but I survived
I don’t know how but I don’t even care

So how do you expect me to live alone with just me?
‘Cause my world revolves around you
It’s so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no air?
Can’t live, can’t breathe with no air
That’s how I feel whenever you ain’t there
There’s no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon’ be without me?
If you ain’t here I just can’t breathe
There’s no air, no air
No air air, No air air

Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no air?
Can’t live, can’t breathe with no air
That’s how I feel whenever you ain’t there
There’s no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon’ be without me?
If you ain’t here I just can’t breathe
There’s no air, no air
No air air, No air air

Got me here out in the water so deep

Tell me how you goin’ be without me?

If you ain’t here I just can’t breathe

There’s no air, no air
No air air, no air air

14. Long Distance – Brandy

This song perfectly captures the pain experienced in a long-distance relationship. You wish to be with no one but the one you love.

Lyrics

There’s only so many songs that I can sing to pass the time
And I’m running out of things to do to get you off my mind, oh
All I have is this picture in a frame (oh, ah)
That I hold close to see your face every day

With you is where I’d rather be
But we’re stuck where we are
It’s so hard, we’re so far
This long distance is killin’ me
I wish that you were here with me
But we’re stuck where we are
It’s so hard, we’re so far
This long distance is killin’ me

It’s so hard, it’s so hard, where we are, where we are
You’re so far, this long distance is killin’ me
It’s so hard, it’s so hard, where we are, where we are
You’re so far, this long distance is killin’ me

Now the minutes feel like hours
And the hours feel like days (whoa, oh)
While I’m away (away)
You know right now I can’t be home (ah)
But I’m comin’ home soon (ah)
Coming home soon (ah)
All I have is this picture in a frame (ah)
That I hold close to see your face every day.

With you is where I’d rather be (where I’d rather be)
But we’re stuck where we are (oh, oh)
It’s so hard (oh, ah), we’re so far (oh, ah)
This long distance is killin’ me
I wish that you were here with me (you were here with me)
But we’re stuck where we are (ohh)
It’s so hard (oh, ah), we’re so far (oh, ahh)

Can you hear me crying?
Oh (oh ah, oh ah)
Can you hear me crying? (oh, ah)
Oh (oh ah, oh ah)
Can you hear me crying? (oh, ah)

Oh (oh ah, oh ah)
Oh, woah (oh, ah)
Oh, no (oh ah, oh, ah)

With you is where I’d rather be (where I’d rather be), whoa
(But we’re stuck where we are) oh
(It’s so hard) so hard (we’re so far), so far
This long distance is killin’ me
I wish that you are here with me (you are here with me)
(But we’re stuck where we are) stuck where we are, so hard, so far
This long distance is killin’ me

It’s so hard, it’s so hard, where we are, where we are
You’re so far, this long distance is killin’ me
It’s so hard, it’s so hard, where we are, where we are
You’re so far, this long distance is killin’ me

There’s only so many songs that I can sing to pass the time

15. I’m Missing You – Bobby Tinsley

When you’re in love, even a few days of separation feels unbearable? Maybe this song could keep you warm on lonely, cold winter nights.

Lyrics

Ohh babe… Ohh babe…
The nights are long,
My days are cold,
Without the warmth you provide me when I hold,
You in my arms, feels so long ago, When you were there… I
Think a teardrop just fell down.
I really wanna come to see you, I really really wish I could,
Maybe in a couple weeks, It’s only a couple weeks…
But even know I get to,
It’s 14 days I gotta get trough
(It’s too many days babe)
And I’m really really missing you
And I miss, miss, Miss.I’m missing you
And I don’t know.How I’m gonna make it trough
But I gotta, gotta, stay strong for us two
I’m a man, It’s a job that I gotta do.
So I go outside and I fake a smile
But if they only knew, Just how many miles.
Were between love so true, I really couldn’t cope the way that we do (that we do.)
And I’m really really missing you,
You, you…
Baby when you’re near,
All of my visions clear.
But like a magic show, I blink and than you disapear.
And I frequently, Envision of it would be
To have you alone with me
Give me a moment so I can breathe .
Ok.
I really wanna come to see you, Baby I wish I could …(Wish I could.)
Maybe in a couple weeks (It’s only two weeks)
It’s only a couple weeks (But the problem is.)
Even though I get to.
It’s 14 long days that I don’t have you
(It’s too many days babe)
And I’m really really missing you.
And I miss, miss. Miss
I’m really really missing you.
And I don’t know, (I don’t know)
How I’m gonna make it through.
But I gotta, gotta … (Gotta)
Stay strong for us two. I’m a man,
It’s a job that I gotta do.
So I go outside and I fake a smile,
But if they only knew,
Just how many miles. (How many miles)
Were between love so true,
I really couldn’t cope the way that we do.
(The way that we do)
And I’m really really missing you (Missing you)
Cuz maybe one day babe,
Not too far away,
We can turn, all our dreams into memories.
(Not gonna be like this forever right?)
Baby we’ll have that home,
Stars stares, all that we share.
Too many nights, over the phone.
I really wanna come to see you (uhuh)
Baby you know I do.Maybe in a couple weeks (I’ll try)
It’s only a couple weeks (Can’t promiss.)
But even know I get to,
Still don’t wanna be away from you.
It’s too many days babe,
And I’m really really missing you.
And I miss, miss, Miss.I miss you.
And I don’t know (I don’t know)
How I’m gonna make it trough. But I gotta, gotta,
Hold strong for us two (strong for us two) I’m a man,

So I go outside (I’ll go outside)
And I fake a smile (I’ll fake a smile)
But if they only knew,
Just how many miles.
Were between love so true, I really couldn’t cope the way that we do.
And I’m really really missing you…

16. Distance and Time – Alicia Keys

Waiting is a part of every long-distance relationship. And all that’s in your mind is the beautiful memories that you two shared.

Lyrics

This song is dedicated
To all the lovers who can’t be together
Separated by distance and time

You were always on my mind
All I do is count the days
Where are you now?

Know I never let you down
I will never go away

I really wish that you would stay but what would we do
All the days that you’ve been gone I dream about you
And I anticipate the day that you will come home, home, home

No matter how far you are
No matter how long it takes him
Through distance and time
I’ll be waiting

And if you have to walk a million miles
I’ll wait a million days to see you smile
Distance and time, I’ll be waiting

Distance and time, I’ll be waiting
Will you take a train, to meet me where I am
Are you on your way?
And I will never do anything to hurt you
I’ll never live without you

I really wish that you would stay but what would we do
All the days that you’ve been gone I dreamed about you
And I anticipate the day that you will come home, home, home

No matter how far you are
No matter how long it takes him
Distance and time, I’ll be waiting
And if you have to walk a million miles
I’ll wait a million days to see you smile
Distance and time
I’ll be waiting

No matter how far you are
No matter how long it takes him
Through distance and time, I’ll be waiting
And you can walk a million miles
I’ll wait a million days to see you smile
Through distance and time, I’ll be waiting

Oh oh oh, oh
Oh oh oh, hey
Oh oh oh oh

I’ll be waiting
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Through distance and time
I’ll be waiting

You are always on my mind
All I do is count the days
Where are you now?

17. Ain’t No Mountain High Enough – Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell

You may not be there with the love of your life, but you want them to know you are there for them always. This song will convey your feelings for them.

Lyrics

Listen baby, ain’t no mountain high
Ain’t no valley low, ain’t no river wide enough baby
If you need me call me no matter where you are
No matter how far, don’t worry baby
Just call my name I’ll be there in a hurry
You don’t have to worry

‘Cause baby there ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

Remember the day I set you free
I told you you could always count on me darling
From that day on, I made a vow
I’ll be there when you want me
Some way, somehow

‘Cause baby there ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

Oh no darling
No wind, no rain
Or winter’s cold can stop me baby, na na baby
‘Cause you are my goal
If you’re ever in trouble
I’ll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh baby, ha

My love is alive (woo)
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I’ll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Don’t you know that there

Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

Don’tcha know that there
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough

18. A Thousand Miles – Vanessa Carlton

Have you ever missed someone and wondered if they miss you too? If yes, then you might understand why Vanessa Carlton is willing to cross a thousand miles just to see the one she loves.

Lyrics

Makin’ my way downtown
Walkin’ fast, faces pass and I’m homebound
Starin’ blankly ahead, just making my way
Makin’ a way through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
‘Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight

It’s always times like these when I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
‘Cause everything’s so wrong and I don’t belong
Living in your precious memory

‘Cause I’ll need you
And I’ll miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
Oh ’cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight

And I, I don’t wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don’t wanna let this go
I, I don’t

Makin’ my way downtown
Walkin’ fast, faces pass and I’m homebound
Starin’ blankly ahead, just making my way
Makin’ a way through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by?
‘Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
‘Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you
Tonight

21. 40 Kinds of Sadness – Ryan Cabrera

When you are separated from your love, you may go through a ton of emotions — up to 40 kinds of sadness Ryan Cabrera refers to in this song.

Lyrics

Two days chasing me around
I go crazy when you’re outside of my world
When you’re outside of my world
No sounds singing me to sleep

I don’t want the room to breathe
Just be with me
Just be with me!

I feel 40 kinds of sadness when you’re gone.
I feel the same thing always happens when you’re gone
And I know you’re just around the corner
But just around the corner is not enough
It’s not enough
My eyes are waiting at the door
Just like every time before
Time flies so slow
Time flies so slow!

I feel 40 kinds of sadness when you’re gone.
I feel the same thing always happens when you’re gone
And I know you’re just around the corner
But just around the corner is not enough
It’s not enough

It’s not enough, I don’t know why
It’s not enough, I miss you all the time
And I know you kinds like it.

I feel yeah 40 kinds of sadness when you’re gone.
I feel 40 kinds of sadness when you’re gone.
I feel the same thing always happens when you’re gone
I know you’re just around the corner
But just around the corner is not enough
It’s not enough

22. Ours – Taylor Swift

When you love someone, you become one team against the rest of the world. No matter what someone says, you know you belong to each other.

Lyrics

Elevator buttons and morning air,
Strangers silence makes me want to take the stairs,
If you were here we’d laugh about their vacant stares,
But right now,
My time is theirs.

Seems like there’s always
Someone who disapproves,
They’ll judge it like they know about me and you,
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do,
The jury’s out,
And my choice is you.

So don’t you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine,
And life makes love look hard,
The stakes are high,
The waters rough,
But this love is ours,

You never know what people have up their sleeves,
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me,
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles,
But I don’t care,
‘Cause right now you’re mine,
And you say,

So don’t you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine,
And life makes love look hard,
The stakes are high,
The water’s rough,
But this love is ours

And it’s not theirs to speculate,
If it’s wrong and,
Your hands are tough but they are where,
My belong in,
I’ll fight their doubt and give you faith with this song for you.

‘Cause I love the gap between your teeth,
And I love the riddles that you speak,
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored,
‘Cause my heart is yours.

So don’t you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine,
And life makes love look hard,

And don’t you worry your pretty little mind,
People throw rocks at things that shine,
But they can’t take what’s ours,
They can’t take what’s ours,
The stakes are high,
The water’s rough,
But this love is ours.

protip_icon Quick fact
The song ‘Ours’ was released as a bonus song on the international deluxe edition of Swift’s album, Speak Now.

23. A Thousand Years – Christina Perri

In Twilight, Bella waited for what felt like a thousand years to be with Edward again. Are you willing to wait a thousand years for the one you love?

Lyrics

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

24. Secret Love Song – Little Mix (Feat. Jason Derulo)

How torturous it must feel to be around the one you love finally but not be able to express your love openly.

Lyrics

We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you, I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It’ll never be enough
As you drive me to my house
I can’t stop these silent tears from rolling down
You and I both have to hide
On the outside where I can’t be yours and you
Can’t be mine
But I know this
We got a love that is homeless

Why can’t I hold you in the street?
Why can’t I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can’t it be like that?
‘Cause I’m yours
Why can’t I say that I’m in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can’t it be like that?
‘Cause I’m yours

It’s obvious you’re meant for me
Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought, I’m in so deep
But I’ll never show it on my face
But we know this, we got a love that is homeless

Why can’t you hold me in the street?
Why can’t I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can’t we be like that?
‘Cause I’m yours
Why can’t I say that I’m in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can’t we be like that?
‘Cause I’m yours

I don’t wanna live love this way
I don’t wanna hide us away
I wonder if it ever will change
I’m living for that day
Someday
When you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that we could be like that
Why can’t we be like that
‘Cause I’m yours, I’m yours

Oh, why can’t you hold me in the street?
Why can’t I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can’t it be like that?
‘Cause I’m yours
Why can’t I say that I’m in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can’t we be like that?
‘Cause I’m yours
Why can’t we be like that
Wish we could be like that

25. Dusk Till Dawn – Zayn (Feat. Sia)

Loving someone means never being alone again. You are always in each other’s thoughts.

Lyrics

Not tryna be indie
Not tryna be cool
Just tryna be in this
Tell me how you choose
Can you feel where the wind is?
Can you feel it through
All of the windows
Inside this room?

‘Cause I wanna touch you, baby
And I wanna feel you, too
I wanna see the sunrise and your sins
Just me and you

Light it up, on the run
Let’s make love, tonight
Make it up, fall in love, try

But you’ll never be alone
I’ll be with you from dusk ’til dawn
I’ll be with you from dusk ’til dawn
Baby, I’m right here
I’ll hold you when things go wrong
I’ll be with you from dusk ’til dawn
I’ll be with you from dusk ’til dawn
Baby, I’m right here

I’ll be with you from dusk ’til dawn
Baby, I’m right here

We were shut like a jacket
So do your zip
We would roll down the rapids
To find a wave that fits
Can …

26. Right Here Waiting For You – Richard Marx

You are not the only one who is going crazy longing for the one you love. Richard Marx feels the pain too.

Lyrics

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn’t stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can’t get near you now

Oh, can’t you see it baby
You’ve got me going crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I’m with you
I’ll take the chance

Oh, can’t you see it baby
You’ve got me going crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you

27. Vanilla Twilight – Owl City

For all the sleepless nights you have spent missing someone, here is a song that will help you through another lonely night.

Lyrics

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
‘Cause I’ll doze off safe and soundly
But I’ll miss your arms around me
I’d send a postcard to you, dear
‘Cause I wish you were here

I’ll watch the night turn light blue
But it’s not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn’t so bad
‘Til I look at my hands and feel sad
‘Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I’ll find repose in new ways
Though I haven’t slept in two days
‘Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I’ll sit on the front porch all night
Waist deep in thought because when
I think of you I don’t feel so alone

I don’t feel so alone
I don’t feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I’ll think of you tonight

I’ll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I’ll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I’ll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won’t forget you
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past
I’d whisper in your ear,
“Oh darling I wish you were here”

protip_icon Trivia
Vanilla Twilight was the second single from the 2009 album of Owl City, ‘Ocean Eyes.’ It also reached number 72 on the Billboard Hot 100.

28. All Of Me – John Legend

“My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine.”
Have you ever felt that love is enough to keep you afloat, especially when missing someone feels suffocating?


Lyrics

What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You’ve got my head spinning,
No kidding,
I can’t pin you down
What’s going on in that beautiful mind
I’m on your magical mystery ride
And I’m so dizzy,
Don’t know what hit me,
But I’ll be alright

My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind

‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
‘Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you’re crying you’re beautiful too
The world is beating you down,
I’m around through every mood
You’re my downfall, you’re my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can’t stop singing,
It’s ringing, in my head for you

My head’s under water
But I’m breathing fine
You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind

‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
‘Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh oh

Give me all of you
Cards on the table,
We’re both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it’s hard

‘Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I’ll give my all to you
You’re my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I’m winning
‘Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, ohoh

29. I Don’t Wanna Live Forever – Zayn, Taylor Swift

There is no better song than this to remind your beloved that time is running out, and that, even in this limited time, you wish to be beside no one but them.

Lyrics

Been sitting eyes wide open behind these four walls, hoping you’d call
It’s just a cruel existence like there’s no point hoping at all

Baby, baby, I feel crazy, up all night, all night and every day
Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
What is happening to me?

I don’t wanna live forever, ’cause I know I’ll be living in vain
And I don’t wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I’m sitting eyes wide open and I got one thing stuck in my mind
Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life, oh

Baby, baby, I feel crazy
Up all night, all night and every day
I gave you something, but you gave me nothing
What is happening to me?

I don’t wanna live forever, ’cause I know I’ll be living in vain
And I don’t wanna fit (fit, babe) wherever (wherever)
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I’ve been looking sad in all the nicest places
Baby, baby, I feel crazy
I see you around in all these empty faces
Up all night, all night and every day
I’ve been looking sad in all the nicest places
Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
Now I’m in a cab, I tell ’em where your place is
What is happening to me?

I don’t wanna live forever, ’cause I know I’ll be living in vain
And I don’t wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
Until you come back home

30. Distance – Christina Perri (Feat. Jason Mraz)

How painful it must be to love someone from a distance. You constantly wonder if they ever feel the way you do.

Lyrics

The sun is filling up the room,
And I can hear you dreaming.
Do you feel the way I do, right now?

I wish we would just give up,
‘Cause the best part is falling.
Calling anything but love.

And I will make sure to keep my distance,
Say I love you when you’re not listening,
How long, can we keep this up, up, up?

Please don’t stand so close to me
I’m having trouble breathing.
I’m afraid of what you’ll see, right now.

I’ll give you everything I am,
All my broken heartbeats.
Until I know you’ll understand.

And I will make sure to keep my distance,
Say I love you when you’re not listening,
How long, can we keep this up, up, up?

And I keep waiting
For you to take me
And you keep waiting
To save what we had

So I’ll make sure to keep my distance,
Say I love you when you’re not listening,
How long, can we keep this up, up, up?

Make sure to keep my distance,
Say I love you when you’re not listening,
How long, ’til we call this love, love, love?

31. Falling In Love – Falling Up

Here is a positive tune that feels spiritual. Perhaps this is what pure love feels like.

Lyrics

You are my one true love
You are the voice that is so sweet
In everything I do, you bring the best out of me
You are my wings to fly
You are the wind beneath them
I miss you every night, when I close my eyes
You put your feelings down
You stopped your tears you brought me love
You held to my heart
You held with hope to have me near
Sometimes I close my eyes
Sometimes I let my hunger rise
I think of all you are, you are the love of my life

All of my dreams and my passions
Are in your hands

You reached me in my need
Your rhythm flows under my skin
I need you desperately,
A sweet healing that will begin
You are my one true love
You are the voice that is so sweet
In everything I do, you bring the best out of me
My everything is you
The very motions that I move
And everything with richness
The richness of the peace you bring

Always, always you are with me
You are the love of my life
He comes to find you on your knees

32. Something Just Like This – Coldplay, The Chainsmokers

This song is the story of all the lovers looking for someone to like them just the way they are.

Lyrics

I’ve been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spider-Man’s control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don’t see myself upon that list

But she said, where’d you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I’m not lookin’ for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairy-tale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss

I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this

I want something just like this

I’ve been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls
A suit before he lifts
But I’m not the kind of person that it fits

She said, where’d you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I’m not lookin’ for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairy-tale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can miss

I want something just like this
I want something just like this

Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Where’d you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I’m not lookin’ for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairy-tale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this

Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this

33. Photograph – Ed Sheeran

Together or not, something as small as a photograph is enough to take you back to the wonderful time you spent with your lover.

Lyrics

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
But it’s the only thing that I know
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time’s forever frozen still

So you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer ’til our eyes meet
You won’t ever be alone, wait for me to come home

And if you hurt me
That’s okay baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won’t ever let you go
Wait for me to come home

Love can heal, loving can mend your soul
And it’s the only thing that I know, know
I swear it will get easier,
Remember that with every piece of you
Hm, and it’s the only thing we take with us when we die

You can fit me inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul

When I’m away, I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
Hearing you whisper through the phone,
“Wait for me to come home”

34. Wolves – Selena Gomez, Marshmellow

We are all looking for the perfect love, so much so that it can get frustrating, but we still do it with hope inside our hearts.

Lyrics

In your eyes, there’s a heavy blue
One to love and one to lose
Sweet divide, a heavy truth
Water or wine, don’t make me choose

I wanna feel the way that we did that summer night (night)
Drunk on a feeling, alone with the stars in the sky

I’ve been running through the jungle
I’ve been running with the wolves
To get to you, to get to you
I’ve been down the darkest alleys
Saw the dark side of the moon
To get to you, to get to you
I’ve looked for love in every stranger
Took too much to ease the anger
All for you, yeah, all for you
I’ve been running through the jungle
I’ve been crying with the wolves
To get to you, to get to you (oh to get to you)

Your fingertips trace my skin
To places I have never been
Blindly I am following
Break down these walls and come on in

I wanna feel the way that we did that summer night
Drunk on a feeling, alone with the stars in the sky

I’ve been running through the jungle
I’ve been running with the wolves
To get to you, to get to you
I’ve been down the darkest alleys
Saw the dark side of the moon
To get to you, to get to you
I’ve looked for love in every stranger
Took too much to ease the anger
All for you, yeah, all for you
I’ve been running through the jungle
I’ve been crying with the wolves
To get to you, to get to you (oh to get to you)

I’ve been running through the jungle
I’ve been running with the wolves
To get to you, to get to you
I’ve been down the darkest alleys
Saw the dark side of the moon
To get to you, to get to you
I’ve looked for love in every stranger
Took too much to ease the anger
All for you, yeah, all for you
I’ve been running through the jungle
I’ve been crying with the wolves
To get to you, to get to you (oh to get to you)

35. Faded – Alan Walker

You may have thought you two were made for each other. But when the illusion breaks, it all feels like a beautiful dream, and you wonder where they are now while you are all by yourself.

Lyrics

You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us
Another start
You fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us
Alive
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
Was it all in my fantasy
Where are you now
Were you only imaginary
Where are you now
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now
Another dream
The monsters running wild inside of me
I’m faded
I’m faded
So lost
I’m faded
These shallow waters, never met
What I needed
I’m letting go
A deeper dive
Eternal silence of the sea
I’m breathing
Alive
Where are you now
Where are you now
Under the bright
But faded lights
You set my heart on fire
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now
Another dream
The monsters running wild inside of me
I’m faded
I’m faded
So lost
I’m faded

36. They Don’t Know About Us – One Direction

You may not be able to show your love to the world right now, but just like this song depicts, someday, you will be able to show off the bond you share with your love.

Lyrics

People say we shouldn’t be together
We’re too young to know about forever
But I say they don’t know what they talk, talk, talkin’ about (Talk, talk, talkin’ about)

‘Cause this love is only getting stronger
So I don’t wanna wait any longer
I just wanna tell the world that you’re mine girl
Oh

They don’t know about the things we do
They don’t know about the “I love yous”
But I bet you if they only knew
They would just be jealous of us,
They don’t know about the up all nights
They don’t know I’ve waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right

Baby they don’t know about
They don’t know about us (They don’t know about us)

Just one touch and I was a believer
Every kiss it gets a little sweeter
It’s getting better
Keeps getting better all the time girl

They don’t know about the things we do
They don’t know about the “I love yous”
But I bet you if they only knew
They would just be jealous of us,
They don’t know about the up all nights
They don’t know I’ve waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right

Baby, they don’t know about (They don’t know about us)

They don’t know how special you are
They don’t know what you’ve done to my heart
They can say anything they want ’cause they don’t know about us

They don’t know what we do best, that’s between me and you, our little secret

But I wanna tell ’em
I wanna tell the world that you’re mine girl

They don’t know about the things we do
They don’t know about the “I love yous”
But I bet you if they only knew
They would just be jealous of us,
They don’t know about the up all nights
They don’t know I’ve waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right

Baby they don’t know about

They don’t know about the things we do
They don’t know about the “I love yous”
But I bet you if they only knew
They would just be jealous of us,
They don’t know about the up all nights
They don’t know I’ve waited all my life
Just to find a love that feels this right

Baby they don’t know about
They don’t know about us

They don’t know about us

37. Stay With Me – Sam Smith

You may have met someone and thought you would never meet again. But you fall in love, and now, you want them to stay by your side forever.


Lyrics
Guess it’s true
I’m not good
At a one night stand
But I still need love
Cos I’m just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don’t want you to leave
Will you hold my hand

Oh won’t you
Stay with me
Cos you’re
All I need
This aint love
It’s clear to see
But darling
Stay with me

Why am I so emotional?
No it’s not a good look
Gain some self control
Deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me
So it doesn’t hurt

Oh won’t you
Stay with me
Cos you’re
All I need
This aint love
It’s clear to see
But darling
Stay with me
Oh won’t you
Stay with me
Cos you’re
All I need
This aint love
It’s clear to see
But darling
Stay with me

38. Say You Won’t Let Go – James Arthur

Reminiscing about the good old days with your partner is what anyone does when away from their love. You miss them so bad that you feel like promising the world to them.

Lyrics

I met you in the dark, you lit me up
You made me feel as though I was enough
We danced the night away, we drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up

Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest

I knew I loved you then
But you’d never know
‘Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you until we’re grey and old
Just say you won’t let go
Just say you won’t let go

I’ll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I’ll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
And I’ll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I’ll thank my lucky stars for that night

When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that I’m older
I wanna dance with you right now
Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that everyday you’ll get better
You make me feel this way somehow

I’m so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold
We’ve come so far, my dear
Look how we’ve grown
And I wanna stay with you until we’re grey and old
Just say you won’t let go
Just say you won’t let go

I wanna live with you
Even when we’re ghosts
‘Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most
I’m gonna love you ’til
My lungs give out
I promise ’til death we part like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows
That it’s just you and me ’til we’re grey and old
Just say you won’t let go
Just say you won’t let go

Just say you won’t let go
Oh, just say you won’t let go

39. Ignite – K-391, Alan Walker (Feat. Julie Bergan, Seungri)

What if you were to find a magical headphone that would take you to your love? Okay, you may not be able to do it in real life, but you surely can imagine it.

Lyrics

Fireflies, a million little pieces
Feeds the dying light, and brings me back to life
In your eyes, I see something to believe in
Your hands are like a flame, your palms’ the sweetest pain

Let the darkness lead us into the light
Let our dreams get lost, feel the temperature rise
Baby, tell me one more beautiful lie
One touch and I ignite
Like a starship speeding into the night
You and I get lost in the infinite lights
Baby, tell me one more beautiful lie
One touch and I ignite

One touch and I ignite
One touch and I ignite

So alive, your touch is like the daylight
Burning on my skin, it turns me on again
You and I, survivors of the same kind
But we’re the only ones dancing on the sun

Let the darkness lead us into the light
Let our dreams get lost, feel the temperature rise
Baby, tell me one more beautiful lie
One touch and I ignite
Like a starship speeding into the night
You and I get lost in the infinite lights
Baby, tell me one more beautiful lie
One touch and I ignite

One touch and I ignite
One touch and I ignite

Diamonds are forever, but all we need is just tonight
We’re monumental tremors that can freeze the speed of life
Just like particles that’s falling from heaven all over the stars
Hear you calling for me, hear you calling me home from afar

Let the darkness lead us into the light
Let our dreams get lost, feel the temperature rise
Baby, tell me one more beautiful lie
One touch and I ignite
I feel the heat as we collide
Like a fever that feels so right
So baby, tell me one more beautiful lie
One touch and I ignite

One touch and I ignite
One touch and I ignite
One touch and I ignite
One touch and I ignite
One touch and I ignite

40. Wildest Dreams – Taylor Swift

Here is a bittersweet reminder of the times you spent with your love, and how those times might never come back.

Lyrics:

He said, “Let’s get out of this town
Drive out of the city away from the crowds”
I thought, “Heaven can’t help me now”
Nothin’ lasts forever
But this is gonna take me down
He’s so tall and handsome as hell
He’s so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins
My one condition is

Say you’ll remember me
Standin’ in a nice dress
Starin’ at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just in your
Wildest dreams, ah, ha
Wildest dreams, ah, ha

I said, “No one has to know what we do”
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound
Nothin’ lasts forever
But this is gettin’ good now
He’s so tall and handsome as hell
He’s so bad but he does it so well
And when we’ve had our very last kiss
But my last request is

Say you’ll remember me
Standin’ in a nice dress
Starin’ at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just in your
Wildest dreams, ah, ha (ha, ha)
Wildest dreams, ah, ha

You’ll see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burnin’ it down
Someday, when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you around
You’ll see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burnin’ (burnin’), it (it), down (down)
Someday, when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow (follow), you (you), around
(Follow you around)

Say you’ll remember me
Standing in a nice dress
Starin’ at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just pretend

Say you’ll remember me
Standin’ in a nice dress
Starin’ at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you’ll see me again
Even if it’s just in your (just pretend)
Wildest dreams, ah, ha (ah)
In your wildest dreams, ah, ha
Even if it’s just in your
Wildest dreams, ah, ha (ah)
In your wildest dreams, ah, ha

41. Like I’m Gonna Lose You – Meghan Trainer (Feat. John Legend)

Remember all the times when you knew your love would be there for just a short while, and you showered all your love on them like there was no tomorrow? Well, this song is just about that.

Lyrics

I found myself dreaming
In silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie
That every broken heart knows

We were walking on moonlight
And you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared
And then I was all alone

I woke up in tears
With you by my side
A breath of relief
And I realized
No, we’re not promised tomorrow

So I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna hold you like I’m saying goodbye
Wherever we’re standing
I won’t take you for granted
‘Cause we’ll never know when, when we’ll run out of time

So I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you
I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you

In the blink of an eye
Just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything
The truth is you never know

So I’ll kiss you longer, baby (hey)
Any chance that I get
I’ll make the most of the minutes
And love with no regrets

Let’s take our time to say what we want (say what we want)
Use what we got before it’s all gone (all gone
‘Cause no (no), we’re not promised tomorrow

So I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you (lose you)
I’m gonna hold you (hey) like I’m saying goodbye
Wherever we’re standing (yeah)
I won’t take you for granted
‘Cause we’ll never know when, when we’ll run out of time

So I’m gonna love (I’m gonna love you) you like I’m gonna lose you (like I’m gonna lose you)
I’m gonna love you (love you) like I’m gonna lose you

I’m gonna love you like I’m gonna lose you (oh, like I’m gonna lose you)
I’m gonna hold you like I’m saying goodbye
Wherever we’re standing
I won’t take you for granted
‘Cause we’ll never know when, when we’ll run out of time

So I’m gonna love (I’m gonna love you) you like I’m gonna lose you (like I’m gonna lose you)
I’m gonna love you (love you) like I’m gonna lose you

42. Plain White T’s – Hey There Delilah

You know your love misses you, and you want to comfort them with your presence but can’t. Perhaps this song might help you.

Lyrics

Hey there, Delilah
What’s it like in New York city?
I’m a thousand miles away
But, girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes, you do
Time square can’t shine as bright as you
I swear, it’s true

Hey there, Delilah
Don’t you worry about the distance
I’m right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it’s my disguise
I’m by your side

Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there, Delilah
I know times are gettin’ hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I’ll pay the bills with this guitar
We’ll have it good
We’ll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there, Delilah
I’ve got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I’d write it all
Even more in love with me you’d fall
We’d have it all

Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars
I’d walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we’ll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah, I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you’re to blame

Hey there, Delilah
You be good, and don’t you miss me
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be makin’ history like I do
You’ll know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there, Delilah, here’s to you
This ones for you

Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh whoa, oh
Oh, oh

Country Songs About Long-Distance Relationships

43. Carolina – Parmalee

When you love someone, you need not see them or talk to them every day. They hold a special place no one can take.

Lyrics

Home is where my heart is still beating
And I don’t know when I’ll see her again
I hate to see her cry when I’m leaving
But now I’m a thousand miles away again

And she feels like Carolina
Looks like California
Shining like those New York lights on Broadway
When she looks back I’m behind her
I’ll always be there for her
She makes me feel like home’s not so far away
She feels like Carolina

It’s hard to understand the way I’m living
And I know she thinks I’m never coming home (never coming home)
But I miss her pretty smile, I’m coming back in a little while
But I’m a thousand miles away again

And she feels like Carolina
Looks like California
Shining like those New York lights on Broadway
When she looks back I’m behind her
I’ll always be there for her
She makes me feel like home’s not so far away

No matter how far I go, you know I can’t stop thinking about her
And there’s nothing like the way I feel, the way I feel when I’m beside her

[2x]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

She feels like Carolina
Looks like California
Shining like those New York lights on Broadway
When she looks back I’m behind her
I’ll always be there for her
She makes me feel like home’s not so far away

Carolina (Carolina)
California (California)
Like home’s not so far away

She feels like Carolina (Carolina)
Looks like California (California)
She makes me feel like home’s not so far away
She makes me feel like home’s not so far away

44. Amanda – Waylon Jennings

It is not easy to let someone go away from you. But if it is for the best, there is nothing much you can do.

Lyrics

I’ve held it all inward, God knows, I’ve tried
But it’s an awful awakening in a country boy’s life
To look in the mirror in total surprise
At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes

Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife

It’s a measure of people who don’t understand
The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar when I was fourteen
Well I finally made forty, still wearing jeans

Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife
Amanda, light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife

45. Bless the Broken Road – Rascal Flatts

In love, sometimes, you take the wrong path. But the Almighty intervenes to ensure that it leads you to the right person, and you feel that ultimate connection with them.

Lyrics

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
(Yes He did)

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I’d like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You’ve been there you understand
It’s all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I’m just rolling home
Into my lover’s arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

46. Just Got Started Lovin’ You – James Otto

Long-distance does not necessarily mean miles of physical distance between you two. Sometimes, even the mere idea of separation feels painful.

Lyrics

You don’t have to go now honey
Call and tell ’em you won’t be in today
Baby there ain’t nothin’ at the office
So important it can’t wait
I’m thankful for the weekend
But two days in heaven just ain’t gonna do
This is gonna take forever darlin’
Girl I just got started lovin’ you

What’s the point in fightin’ what we’re feelin’
We both know we’ll never win
Ain’t this what we’re missin’
Let’s just stop all this resistin’ and give in
Let me wrap my arms around you
You know you don’t want to leave this room
Come back and let me hold you darlin’
Girl I just got started lovin’ you

What can I say I’ve never felt this way
Girl you’re like a dream come true
After all the love we’ve made
It sure would be a shame
If we let this moment end so soon

So won’t you lay back down beside me
Girl just like I know you’re wantin’ to
Trust me when I tell you darlin’
Girl I just got started lovin’ you

What can I say I’ve never felt this way
Girl you’re like a dream come true
After all the love we’ve made
It sure would be a shame
If we let this moment end so soon

I’m thankful for the weekend
But two days in heaven just ain’t gonna do
This is gonna take forever darlin’
Girl I just got started lovin’ you
Come back and let me hold you darlin’
Girl I just got started lovin’ you

47. Home – Blake Shelton

You may have found the success you were looking for and fulfilled all your dreams, but in the end, every heart longs for love. Every heart wants to be home with the one they love.

Lyrics

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone, I wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters
That I wrote to you, each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
I would send them but I know
That it’s just not enough, my words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another airplane, another sunny place
I’m lucky I know but I wanna go home
I’ve got to go home, let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
This was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day
Has come and gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone and I wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I’m coming back home

Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

48. Love’s Gonna Live Here – Buck Owens

The happy feeling when you know you will be together with your love again — Feels nice, doesn’t it?

Lyrics

Oh, the sun’s gonna shine in my life once more
Love’s gonna live here again
Things are gonna be the way they were before
Love’s gonna live here again
Love’s gonna live here
Love’s gonna live here
Love’s gonna live here again
No more loneliness, only happiness
Love’s gonna live here again

I hear bells a-ringin’
I hear birds a-singin’
Love’s gonna live here again
I hear bees a-hummin’
And I know the day’s a-comin’
Love’s gonna live here again
Love’s gonna live here
Love’s gonna live here
Love’s gonna live here again
No more loneliness, only happiness
Love’s gonna live here again
Love’s gonna live here again

49. Old Crow Medicine Show – Wagon Wheel

When you finally set out to meet the love you were waiting to see, the excitement is evident for all to see. At least it is in this song.

Lyrics

Headed down south to the land of the pines
And I’m thumbin’ my way into North Caroline
Starin’ up the road
Pray to God I see headlights

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin’ me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I’m a hopin’ for Raleigh
I can see my baby tonight

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
Hey mama rock me

Runnin’ from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time string band
My baby plays the guitar
I pick a banjo now

Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin’ me now
Lost my money playin’ poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain’t a turnin’ back
To livin’ that old life no more

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
Hey mama rock me

Walkin’ to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly
Had a nice long toke
But he’s a headed west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee

And I gotta get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby callin’ my name
And I know that she’s the only one
And if I die in Raleigh
At least I will die free

So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
Hey mama rock me

50. You’ve Never Been This Far Before – Conway Twitty

After spending much time away, your heart will crave sexual intimacy. And this song perfectly captures the trembling fingers and pounding heart that accompanies it.

Lyrics

I can almost hear the stillness
As it yields to the sound of your heart beating
I can almost hear the echo
Of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking

And I can feel your body tremble
As you wonder what this moment holds in store
And as I put my arms around you
I can tell you’ve never been this far before

I don’t know what I’m saying
As my trembling fingers touch forbidden places
I only know that I’ve waited
For so long for the chance that we are taking

Well I don’t know and I don’t care
What made you tell him you don’t love him anymore
And as I taste your tender kisses
I can tell you’ve never been this far before

And as I take the love you’re giving
I can feel the tension building in your mind
And you’re wondering if tomorrow
I’ll still love you like I’m loving you tonight

You have no way of knowing
Tonight will only make me love you more
And I hope that you’ll believe me
‘Cause I know you’ve never been this far before

51. Whenever You Come Around – Vince Gill

Vince Gill’s beautiful voice and the song’s reflective lyrics can strum the heart chords of anyone who has been in love but has not be able to confess it yet.

Lyrics

The face of an angel; pretty eyes that shine
I lie awake at night wishing you were mine
I’m standing here holding the biggest heartache in town
Whenever you come around

I get weak in the knees; and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won’t come
I’m so scared to death
And when you smile the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around

I feel so helpless; I feel just like a kid
What is it about you that makes me keep my feelings hid
I wish I could tell you, but the words can’t be found
Whenever you come around

I get weak in the knees; and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won’t come
I’m so scared to death
And when you smile the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around

And when you smile that smile
The whole world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
Whenever you come around

Sad Long-Distance Relationship Songs

52. Wish You Were Here – Avril Lavigne

Talk about being heartbroken in love, and Avril will show you how it’s done. Sometimes it is totally fine to miss someone who doesn’t miss you.

Lyrics

I can be tough
I can be strong
But with you, it’s not like that at all

There’s a girl
That gives a shit
Behind this wall
You’ve just walked through it

And I remember, all those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You’re always there, you’re everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

All those crazy things we did
Didn’t think about it, just went with it
You’re always there, you’re everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

Damn, damn, damn,
What I’d do to have you
Here, here, here
I wish you were here
Damn, damn, damn
What I’d do to have you
Near, near, near
I wish you were here

I love the way you are
It’s who I am, don’t have to try hard
We always say, say it like it is
And the truth is that I really miss

All those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You’re always there, you’re everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

All those crazy things we did
Didn’t think about it, just went with it
You’re always there, you’re everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

Damn, damn, damn
What I’d do to have you
Here, here, here
I wish you were here
Damn, damn, damn
What I’d do to have you
Near, near, near
I wish you were here

No, I don’t wanna let go
I just wanna let you know
That I never wanna let go
Let go, oh, oh

No, I don’t wanna let go
I just wanna let you to know
That I never wanna let go
(let go let go let go let go let go let go let go)

Damn, damn, damn,
What I’d do to have you
Here, here, here
I wish you were here (i wish you were)
Damn, damn, damn
What I’d do to have you
Near, near, near
I wish you were here

Damn, damn, damn,
What I’d do to have you
Here, here, here
I wish you were here
Damn, damn, damn
What I’d do to have you
Near, near, near
I wish you were here

53. Gone So Long – Breathe Carolina

Sometimes you are away for so long that your relationship buckles under the pressure and all the good memories you hav start to feel like a dream.

Lyrics

My eyes open to the sound of a song I’ve heard
Don’t know the name, but I know all the words
Sun came up, crawled into the front seat
Memories leaving me, was it all a dream I had?
Time for us to wake up
I’ll save my words to make the most of it
I never meant to be gone so long

Do you still remember my touch at all?
I never meant to be gone so long
Street lights passing everyone
Gets me a heartbeat closer
To where it started beating
Keep me feeling safe and sound
When everything that’s right is upside down
Was it all a dream I had?
Time for us to wake up
I’ll save my words to make the most of it
I never meant to be gone so long

As I have you I’ll be home
I never meant to be gone so long
I’m sorry I made you wait
I wish that I could stay
I live for this, but I’d die for you
The world still moves on.

Do you still remember my touch at all?
I never meant to be gone so long
Do you still remember my touch at all?
I never meant to be gone so long

As I have you walk me home
I never meant to be gone so long
Do you still remember my touch at all?
I never meant to be gone so long

54. 10 hours – Warren Barfield

It’s true, in long-distance love, you may wait for ten years to see each other, but when the time comes to finally be together, even the last ten hours feel unbearable.

Lyrics

There’s ten hours between us tonight
And I feel like my heart will break
Cause it’s been way too long
Since I’ve last seen your face
What I’d give if you were here with me now
And I was lost in your touch
If I know my heart
There’s nothing I’ve ever wanted so much

But to love you
Just to love you
It’s all I wanna do

There’s ten hours between us tonight
And I feel like I could die
But all the pain would just
Go away if I could look in your eyes

And love you
Just love you
It’s all I wanna do

Cause I know you’re the one
That I’ve been praying for
I could love you for a thousand years
And wish for a thousand more

There’s ten hours between us tonight
But tonight can only last so long
By twelve o’clock tomorrow baby
You’ll be here in my arms

And I’ll hold you close to my heart
And I pray you feel my love
Until that day when time or space
Will never again separate us

And I’ll love you
Oh, I’ll love you
It’s all I’ll ever do
Cause I know you’re the one
It just feels so right
Would it be ok with you
If I loved you for the rest of my life

55. Far Away- Nickelback

Yet another reminder of how difficult long-distance relationships can be. But don’t worry! In the end, everything falls into place.

Lyrics

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there’s just one left
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore

On my knees, I’ll ask
Last chance for one last dance
‘Cause with you, I’d withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I’d give it all
I’d give for us
Give anything but I won’t give up
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
‘Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
‘Cause I’m not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
‘Cause I’m not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I make my long-distance partner feel special?

You can begin by sending warm and affectionate texts and appreciating your partner or surprise them by sending gifts, flowers, or food. Arrange parties or intimate dates with your partner on video call. Such small gestures can make your partner feel special.

2. How often should I talk with my partner in a long-distance relationship?

You should talk with your long-distance partner the same as you would with a partner living in the same place. Keep in mind that talking should not be forced from either side. You must genuinely be happy to talk to each other. If you cannot talk regularly with your partner (due to time differences or any other reason), you can text them little details and stay in touch.
