Lovin You From A Distance
[Verse 1]
Don't pack your bags, let's miss your flight
Oh, would it be that bad if you stay one more night?
I pray for rain, snow in Hollywood
Just hopin' your plans would change and you'd stay for good
I don't wanna make that drive out to LAX
And have to come home all alone
Already wishin' that you never left
Every time you're gone it's like a part of me is missing

[Chorus]
Girl, I hate lovin' you from a distance
All the nights reaching out for you
And having nothing to hold on to
I'm hoping this time things will be different
Cause I hate lovin' you from a distance

[Verse 2]
And there's no bracing myself
When I have to watch you walk away
It feels like my world comes crashing down
With each step you take
And it drives me mad, each and every time
That you look back and wave goodbye
I don't wanna wake up without you laying there
With nothing but my t-shirt on and your hair everywhere
I can't go on with you gone, girl, I need you to listen
[Chorus]
Cause I hate lovin' you from a distance
All the nights reaching out for you
And having nothing to hold on to
I'm hoping this time things will be different
Cause I hate lovin' you from a distance

[Verse 3]
There's nothing to see, I already know
Can't wait for the day that you don't have to go
But each and every time that you leave
Even though it won't be for long
From the very first moment you're gone

[Outro]
Baby, I'll be missing you
Baby, I'll be missing you
Baby, I'll be missing you
Missing you
I'll be missing you
Baby, I'll be missing you
Baby, I'll be missing you
Missing you
