about

Keats Conlon's second song “Only Distance” is an upbeat folk-pop tune about love and longing in the modern world, it combines intimate snapshots of a life between lovers and a catchy chorus that affirms “There’s only distance between you and me.” Especially poignant given a world where we are separated from those we love, this song reassures us that it’s only distance and that love can make it through the miles.

lyrics

Darlin’ it’s past three and the liquor’s got to me your hands are cold
I’ve got work at ten and my head’s spinning again from all the dancing and the drinking and your lips against my skin
And though your silhouette is stunning in the day, I wouldn’t have it any other way
There’s something about starlight and that misty ocean spray that takes my breath away

So keep holding me close
Keep your heart beating on your sleeve
Keep your courage to the sticking post and tell me when you leave
Dear there’s only distance between you and me
There’s nothing but the distance that could come ‘tween you and me

Darlin’ I got you and you know you’ve got to me we’re spinning gold
We stand out in a crowd cause our voices are too loud, but we’re singing the same key, and it’s a pretty melody
And though the words can sometimes get lost in the fray, I wouldn’t have it any other way
There’s something about jumbled chords that we can barely play that takes my breath away

So keep holding me close
Keep your heart beating on your sleeve
Keep your courage to the sticking post and tell me when you leave
Dear there’s only distance between you and me
There’s nothing but the distance that could come ‘tween you and me

There’s nothing but the miles, to keep me from your side,
there’s nothing but the miles, there’s nothing but the miles, the miles, the miles

So keep holding me close
Keep your heart beating on your sleeve
Keep your courage to the sticking post and tell me when you leave
There’s only distance between you and me
So keep holding me close
Keep your heart beating on your sleeve
Keep your courage to the sticking post and tell me when you leave
Dear there’s only distance between you and me
There’s nothing but the distance that could come ‘tween you and me
