I need a little space and time Maybe like out on the moon So baby, get the rocket ship Ready, set, I'm not coming back that soon It's all I can do to stop myself From calling you up and and causing hell 'Cause I know how it always ends And I don't want to play again So I'm just gonna love you from a distance That don't mean that I'm not gonna miss you Even if my lips don't feel your kisses Baby, I'll still love you from a distance You know I want the best for you If it means setting you free Even with an ego bruise I would choose seeing you happy, oh And that's what I'm gonna tell myself When I'm crying alone and it hurts like hell 'Cause I know how it always ends And I don't want to play again So I'm just gonna love you from a distance That don't mean that I'm not gonna miss you Even if my lips don't feel your kisses Baby, I'll still love you from a distance I know we're taking space, that's okay I know it's gonna change, that's okay Even if it's over and it's different Always gonna love you from a distance I wish it didn't hurt to keep you close So I'm just gonna love you from a distance That don't mean that I'm not gonna miss you Even if my lips don't feel your kisses Baby, I'll still love you from a distance I know we're taking space, that's okay I know it's gonna change, that's okay Even if it's over and it's different Always gonna love you from a distance I know you're taking pictures down Throwing out letters I've signed But baby, keep my sweatshirt warm I'll be yours maybe the next time
