Name: LDR
Duration: P00H02M23S
Description: Self-explanatory. The two years of our life where we were apart while I was studying in university (I have a lot of other songs in a previous EP, Amanda, describing the experience) were nothing short of difficult. The song describes my longing for the distance to end, which it did!

Self-explanatory. The two years of our life where we were apart while I was studying in university (I have a lot of other songs in a previous EP, Amanda, describing the experience) were nothing short of difficult. The song describes my longing for the distance to end, which it did!

lyrics

[Verse 1]

It happened, again,
But you weren’t there to see it
Oh wait, you wouldn’t get it
You would've had to be there to understand

[Verse 2]

And I’ll tell you all about my day
But sometimes it gets too late
It’s still your day when I’ve ended mine
Your good night is my rise and shine

[Chorus 1]

You’re so far away from me
For two whole years separated by sea
We’re good on our own but better together,
Wouldn’t you agree?
Sooner than you think I will be nearer than far
’Til I bid this place 'au revoir'
This is L D R

[Verse 3]

Though to be frank, I like the peace I get
When I’m living on my own
All this time I have, to myself
And nobody else (nobody else)

[Verse 4]

Bitter, salty, sweet, and sour
We've seen each other through
The days are long but they’re getting shorter
How much longer till I’m with you?

[Chorus 2]

You’re so far away from me
For two whole years separated by sea
We’re good on our own but better together,
Wouldn’t you agree?
Sooner than you think I will be nearer than far
’Til I bid this place 'au revoir'
This is L D R
