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 causing hell
'Cause I know how it always ends, and I don't wanna 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 bruised, I would choose seeing you happy, oh
And that's what I'm gonna tell myself (oh) when I'm crying alone and it hurts like hell
'Cause I know how it always ends, and I don't wanna 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

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
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 (yeah) 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, oh
