Hot Chelle Rae - The Distance Lyrics






I hear you crying and I know
What it's like to be alone
You're scared and I'm not there
It's like you're living with a ghost
Someone you can't hold
And you say it's so unfair

[Chorus:]
And just so you know
The distance is what's killing me
Time and space have become the enemy
And what I need is so far away
And so it goes
The distance makes it hard to breathe
My heart won't let go easily
I don't want to be this far away

I'm lying by myself
The silence seems to swell
Someday this all will change

It's a temporary pain
See your face and speak your name
Till then I'll scream into the night

[Chorus]

Well I've got my life
And you've got my world tonight
And I miss you (I miss you), I miss you (I miss you)

And just so you know (killing me)
The distance is what's killing me (time and space)
Time and space have become the enemy (enemy)
And what I need is so far away
And so it goes (hard to breathe)

The distance makes it hard to breathe (won't let go)
My heart won't let go easily (easily)
I don't want to be this far away

  41. B.... G....

    omg...this song kills thousandsss LDR couple..and i'm one of them. :'( *CRIES IN THE CORNER*

  42. J.... B....

    I could not agree more. I love this song.

  43. M.... A....

    And when I say 'started" meant when they truly got the recognition and airplay the deserved from ady one. I wish I had been there from the beginning but being from a small town in Australia where I didn't have home internet until about a year ago, I missed out on a lot of up and coming bands from the US unless they were featured in magazines or music shows. And it's a shame than HCR weren't mentioned until a year ago.

  44. M.... A....

    Have you heard their track Last One Standing? That song belongs in some kind of adventure/love story film! It's an amazingly epic tune!

  45. M.... A....

    I think the 4 guys would probably say that they were given more exposure with Tonight Tonight and also winning the AMA last year.
    As someone who has become a fan over the last 6 months, I don't think it's fair to say fans who heard about them in recent times don't enjoy their music or their old stuff as much or appreciate them as artists as much.
    Tonight Tonight gave them the boost they needed, and most fans then listened to their old stuff after then. I'm sure they'd agree.

  46. A.... H....

    nuhuh with true fans it started with the first word note and performance so dont say only tonight tomight what about bleed what abouthe distance or i like to dance so

  47. A.... K....

    could be a new superhero film track like superman or spiderman :D

  48. M.... A....

    @loveposey28 that's not true. If anything, things truly started with Tonight Tonight.

    And who knows if they might go back to rock on their third album?

    They tried pop and I think it still worked. Lovesick Electrick was still pop but as it was a few years ago it was a different sound.

    Their career is at it's height right now...nowhere near ended...

  49. C.... M....

    the pain of long distance r/s.

  50. N.... M....

    :'(

  51. M.... S....

    I love this song.

  52. C.... B....

    Fuck. Depressing. Ryan you can touch me. Come here. Ill make you feel better.

  53. C.... C....

    @ohhsimplyali :'(

  54. S.... A....

    i have best friends that like hundreds of millions miles away from me. we cant see eachother as often as we want but this song helps with the distance between us

  55. C.... ....

    This song fits what I'm going through so perfectly...it hurts so bad being so far from the one I love. This distance has been killing me for so long..hopefully I'll be seeing my love in a few years. Why does he have to be so far away.. whether it be 3 years or 8, I'll never give up on seeing him because he means the world to me and more. <3 I love you D.W.

  56. R.... B....

    @iMyoto uhm, whats wrong with those? >.>

  57. A.... S....

    Stupid 3 people your out numbered :P

  58. A.... M....

    wut i NEED is so far away, 1000 miles to be exact :'(

  59. i.... ....

    @ErikaPmore
    what the fuck are you on...lol anti depressants.

  60. E.... -....

    I knew some important friends thanks my favourite band, Paramore. They live so far away from me.. I can't stand it. I need to be so much closer to them! They're part of my life I hate to see them sad and can't hold them. I try to help them with words but, you know, words are not enough. I fuckin hate this distance.

  61. H.... S....

    I LOVE THIS SONG

  62. c.... ....

    I've been moving around the US my whole life. We finally moved up to seattle one day and my parents said I would stay through out the rest of highschool there. Three years later I'm told were moving to england...at first the time I had left with my friends felt like any other day. Then time started running by faster and faster, until it was the last day of school, the day I was leaving my best friends, my boyfriends...everything behind. I miss you guys so much... :'(

  63. B.... T....

    me and my boyfriend were long distance for a year. we didnt get to see each other practically at all but we skyped and called each other all the time... it wasnt the same though. we thought we would never make it because distance was sooo hard... he graduated high school and i figured we would split. it's my senior year now, we've been together for a year and 4 months and he's my next door neighbor that i see every single day. THIS song helped me get through it all and now i have a fairytale <3

  64. S.... ....

    I saw them at workplay theater in Alabama in november and I got the shirt and yran was like did every body sign that and I pointed to the bassist and was like I dont think he did and Ryan took it from said he wants you sign this then gave it back to me.... We're best friends.

  65. A.... B....

    Omg. I have a best friend, that lives in a different state. The distance between us is killing me. I love this song, and Hot Chelle Rae. :)

  66. m.... ....

    The distance makes it hard to breathe, but I'm sure when I see you guys - I'll be able to breathe (;

    Love this song !

  71. S.... ....

    I am in love with this song. I saw them live and they did the acoustic version instead and I think the acoustic version is better than the original. Still love the song no matter what.
