  • There's only so many songs that I can sing to pass the time
    And I'm running out of things to do to get you off my mind, oh
    All I have is this picture in a frame (oh, ah)
    That I hold close to see your face everyday

    With you is where I'd rather be
    But we're stuck where we are
    It's so hard, we're so far
    This long distance is killin' me
    I wish that you were here with me
    But we're stuck where we are
    It's so hard, we're so far
    This long distance is killin' me

    It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are
    You're so far, this long distance is killin' me
    It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are
    You're so far, this long distance is killin' me

    Now the minutes feel like hours
    And the hours feel like days (whoa, oh)
    While I'm away (away)
    You know right now I can't be home (ah)
    But I'm comin' home soon (ah)
    Coming home soon (ah)
    All I have is this picture in a frame (ah)
    That I hold close to see your face everyday.

    With you is where I'd rather be (where I'd rather be)
    But we're stuck where we are (oh, oh)
    It's so hard (oh, ah), we're so far (oh, ah)
    This long distance is killin' me
    I wish that you were here with me (you were here with me)
    But we're stuck where we are (ohh)
    It's so hard (oh, ah), we're so far (oh, ahh)

    Can you hear me crying?
    Oh (oh ah, oh ah)
    Can you hear me crying? (oh, ah)
    Oh (oh ah, oh ah)
    Can you hear me crying? (oh, ah)

    Oh (oh ah, oh ah)
    Oh, woah (oh, ah)
    Oh, no (oh ah, oh, ah)

    With you is where I'd rather be (where I'd rather be), whoa
    (But we're stuck where we are) oh
    (It's so hard) so hard (we're so far), so far
    This long distance is killin' me
    I wish that you are here with me (you are here with me)
    (But we're stuck where we are) stuck where we are, so hard, so far
    This long distance is killin' me

    It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are
    You're so far, this long distance is killin' me
    It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are
    You're so far, this long distance is killin' me
