Long Slow Distance Lyrics

I don't know how
And I don't know why
Golden days, precious moments
Passed by
My struggle was only a wrestle with time
And how I only saw clearly what I left behind

But it hurts when you say to me
That I only know myself
That I don't know no-one else
Hurtful words, but I don't disagree
You stand removed from me
And only this long slow distance is real

Why, why should I care?
I can run, I can crawl
I'm getting there
You roll over slowly
As you drift away
Just a sigh, and you're on your way

But it hurts when you say to me
That I only know myself
That I don't know no-one else
Hurtful words, but I don't disagree
You stand removed from me
And only this long slow distance is real

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
