When the Clock Strikes - Better Friends (From a Distance) Lyrics

You don't have to stand so close
To talk to me, I swear
Tell me about your life from over there
There's nothing you could do or say
That could make me love you less
Your invasion of my space
Already put that to the test
But I still need you in my life
Maybe just in smaller parts
'Cause you help me
Decide who I don't wanna be

I hope that you can see
I know we're both on the same team
I just need some room to breathe

We're better friends from a distance
Even better than you know
And this affection will grow stronger
But I can't miss you 'til you go
We're better friends from a distance
Even more than I can say
And I hope we're reunited
After many, many days

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
And so I know
It's better that we go our separate ways
And I can keep the memories
Of all the best that you can be
As long as you're not here
So I mean it when I say
It's endearing when you stay away from me

We're better friends from a distance
Even better than you know
And this affection will grow stronger
But I can't miss you 'til you go
We're better friends from a distance
Even more than I can say
And I hope we're reunited
After many, many days

I mean it when I say
It's endearing when you stay away
I mean it when I say
It's endearing when you stay away
I mean it when I say
It's endearing when you stay away
I mean it when I say
It's endearing

We're better friends from a distance
Even better than you know
And this affection will grow stronger
But I can't miss you 'til you go
We're better friends from a distance
Even more than I can say
And I hope we're reunited
After many, many days

We're better friends from a distance
We're better friends from a distance, Oh
