Lyrics

The Distance

Ain't nobody stoppin' us
What we have is dangerous
Left they opinions in the dust
Said can't nobody fuck with us
They'll never find a way, to make us fade away
Our love won't fade away
They'll never find a way, to make us fade away
Our love won't fade away

Warm days, cold nights
Late October
Separated, people sayin' what we had was over
But the hate only made us get closer
And closer

Said we couldn't go the distance
Look at us we goin' the distance
They just wanna be us, they don't wanna see us goin' the distance
For laughs, for laughs, la di da
Said we couldn't go the distance
For life, for life, la di da
Look at us we goin' the distance
Distance

They was no good, had their hands out
Tried to diminish me
But we stayed down, kept on that crown
In spite of them difficulties
But they can't, but they can't, but they can't
Take away them precious memories
And I won't, and I won't, and I won't
Let 'em come between you and me

Warm days, cold nights
Late October
Separated, people sayin' what we had was over
But the hate only made us get closer
And closer

Said we couldn't go the distance
Look at us we goin' the distance
They just wanna be us, they don't wanna see us goin' the distance
For laughs, for laughs, la di da
Said we couldn't go the distance
For life, for life, la di da
Look at us we goin' the distance
Distance

Ty Dolla $ign:
We been goin' all the way for the longest
We're too strong, we're too solid
They can't stop it now, we a problem now
Fuck all their comments, they be so toxic
We be kissin' in public
You like it, I love it
You wit it, I'm wit it
We goin' the distance

Said we couldn't go the distance
Look at us we goin' the distance
They just wanna be us, they don't wanna see us goin' the distance
For laughs, for laughs, la di da
Said we couldn't go the distance
For life, for life, la di da
Look at us we goin' the distance
Distance
