What did I find, what did I see?
A notification
Blinking at me
I need to respond, I need to reply
I tap the app
And I read the text
Skimming and jumping from one word to the next
I better re-read so I've got this right
Each day we're trying
To build something strong
Making a future
Where we both belong
Ignoring the distance
Bridging the gap
Navigating without a map
I can see your face, but you're so far away
Distance loving
Picture me there, ignoring the delay
Distance love
Gonna call you now
Hope the wifi's gonna behave
Distance loving
Another day goes by and we're closer to our aim
Distance love
Using emojis
Adding the feels
Sending pictures of my meals
Doing the normal linking up each day
Loving her madly
Missing her bad
Sharing memories of the good times we had
It's here I am, it's here I want to stay
I can see your face, but you're so far away
Distance loving
Picture me there, ignoring the delay
Distance love
Oh no, I've had the sound turned off
And there's like fifteen new messages.
Her mind is going to start doing cartwheels
How am I going to explain
That it wasn't deliberate,
It was just a quirk of
Societal needs
Versus
Technological enhancement
Well once the panic subsides
Or maybe the anger
We will rebuild
Back to our place of stability
Safe in the knowledge
That we are once again
Connected
Each day we're trying
To build something strong
Making a future
Where we both belong
Ignoring the distance
Bridging the gap
Navigating without a map
I can see your face, but you're so far away
Distance loving
Picture me there, ignoring the delay
Distance love
Gonna call you now
Hope the wifi's gonna behave
Distance loving
Another day goes by and we're closer to our aim
Distance love
