COLDPLAY - TIL KINGDOM COME
For you I'd wait 'Til Kingdom Come
Until my day my day is done
and say you'll come and set me free
just say you'll wait you'll wait for me

[b]PLAIN WHITE T'S - HEY THERE DELILAH[/B]
^ PERFECT for ldr

Hey there Delilah,
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand mile away,
But girl tonight you look so pretty,
Yes you do,
Time Square can't shine as bright as you,
I swear it's true.

Hey there Delilah,
Don't you worry about the distance,
I'm right there if you get lonely,
Give this song another listen,
Close your eyes,
Listen to my voice it's my disguise,
I'm by your side.

Oh it's what you do to me...

Hey there Delilah,
I know times are getting hard,
But just believe me girl some day,
I'll pay the bills with this guitar,
We'll have it good,
We'll have the life we knew we would,
My word is good.

Hey there Delilah,
I've got so much left to say,
If every simple song I wrote to you,
Would take your breath away,
I'd write it all,
Even more in love with me you'd fall,
We'd have it all.

Oh it's what you do to me...

A thousand miles seems pretty far,
But they've got planes and trains and cars,
I'd walk to you if I had no other way,
Our friends would all make fun of us,
And we'll just laugh along because,
We know that none of them have felt this way,
Delilah I can promise you,
That by the time that we get through,
The world will never ever be the same,
And you're to blame.

Hey there Delilah you be good,
And don't you miss me,
Two more years and you'll be done with school,
And I'll be making history,
Like I do,
You'll know it's all because of you,
We can do whatever we want to,
Hey there Delilah here's to you,
This one's for you.

Oh it's what you do to me..

One song that always helps me out (I am also in a ldr) is Alice Cooper's "Might As Well Be On Mars." I think it could be interpreted to deal with a few different situations, but it reminds me of my ldr a bit and is very therapeutic to listen to, though at times it can be sad.

The city streets are wet with rain tonight
Taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
A lonely guitar man playin' down the hall
Midnight blues comin' through the walls

I tried to call you on the telephone
I left it off the hook
Just to hear it ring
You told me you were better off alone
I never knew that tears could stain

I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
Lookin' down at all the cars
I can see you
In the window of your favorite corner bar
But to reach you is just too far
And I might as well be on Mars

The city seems so old and grey and beat
It closes in and makes me wanna suffocate
And you just live across the street
But that's a billion miles away

You've turned my world into a dark and lonely place
Like a planet lost in space, my light is fadin'
I'd cross the universe to be right where you are
But I'm right in your backyard
And I might as well be on Mars

[CHORUS]
I might as well be on Mars
You can't see me
I might as well be the Man on the Moon
You can't hear me
Oh, can you feel me so close
And yet so far
Baby, I might as well be on Mars

Baby, I can't fly
If I could I'd come down to ya
Maybe I should try

I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
Lookin' down at all lthe cars
I can see you
In the window of your favorite corner bar
But to reach is just too far
And I might as well be on Mars

amazing thread! I love you guys so much
me and my Bf desided to make a cd b4 I left for University. (7 hour drive)
It began with me finding a song And I guess that's why they call it the blues - Elton John so our last night together we sat in this giant chair and he just held me as we listened to the song and I cryed my eyes out . It's always going to be our song. I cling to it. Half the time it hurts so bad I can't even listen to it. I love him so much and I miss him. It's so hard. I'll see him in 2 months .

lyrics:

Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I could honestly say
That things can only get better
And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man

Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself


I agree on the I will wait forever- air supply
and eagle eye cherrie- save tonight too!
thatnks for all your help with our cd guys I love you so much 4 it!

and then he sent me a song:

Beatles - Something


Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me

I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me

Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me

Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now

I miss him so much. I always cry at my new friends at school. I think it anoys them.

Es que la culpa es del tiempo

Culpables son todos, excepto tú y yo

Hmm... I've been in a long-distance relationship before... it was over a year ago and honestly lasted for a week because the dude was such a phoney asshole. Heh... the memory of me forever haunts him because I send him threats when he moves in on my friends.

I'm actually studying LDR's and also long-distance friendships in my Psychology unit... it's quite fascinating stuff where it talks about more emotional courage and the dissolution of such relationships.

Right now I'm in a long-distance friendship... we're still great friends and we give each other so much support, love and appreciation through emails, msn, texts, letters and gifts. This time next year I'll be in London with him. =)

i've been in a LDR for the last 10 months almost, so here's my input.

--jack's mannequin - bruised.
All I hear is what's playing through
The in-flight radio
Now every word of every song
I ever heard that made me wanna stay
Is what's playing through
The in-flight radio, and I
And I am, finally waking up

Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
Don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised, yeah


--goodbyetomorrow - tied by miles
if i could i would, fix our wrists together
in such a fashion that god himself couldn't tear us apart
but impossibility knows nothing of compromise
and hope can only take us so far

tracing your outline in my sheets
painting your face on my pillow
faking going to sleep
so i can fake waking up to you

my hands are tied by miles


--hellogoobye - dear jamie...sincerely me.

--incubus - i miss you
i see your picture
i smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine
you've only been gone ten days
but already i'm wasting away


--jack johsnon - lullaby
it ain't the first time it won't be the last
won't you remember these words to help the time pass?
so when you're so lonely lying in bed
night's closed it's eyes but you can't rest your head
everyone's sleeping all through the house
you wish you could dream but forgot to somehow
sing this lullaby to yourself


--d-side - one more night alone
one more night alone in my bed
i can't sleep without you.
one more night alone in my head
can't stop thinking about you.
you're the one
and i can't live without you


--hellogoodbye - here (in your arms)
you are the one
the one that lies close to me
whispers "hello, i miss you quite terribly"
i fell in love, in love with you suddenly.
now there's no place else i could be
but here in your arms.



ok, i tried finding ones that haven't been added already.

(he is from lebanon and im from australia) then he came here for 3 months earlier this year n we got engaged then he had 2 go bak .. his been gone for about 6 months now he wont be back for another month or so ... waa...

I don't think anyone's mentioned Set the Fire to the Third Bar by Snow Patrol. A lot of the songs on the album Eyes Open are about long distance relationships.

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from A to where you'd B
It's only finger lengths that I see

I touch the place
Where I'd find your face
My fingers increases
Of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground and I
I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted close our eyelids

And dreaming pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in

And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground and I
I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

And miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground and I
I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

I don't know if this one's been mentioned, but New American Classic by Taking Back Sunday

New American Classic by TBS is actually a break-up song.

One that I was shocked not to see was:

Call And Return - Hellogoodbye

I didnt had a clue that so many people were in a Long distance relationship
I'm also in this situation.
ive read this entire topic and the words that some people say are the exact i would say.
And i also know how hard it is...
But this year i graduate and then if it is still like it is now i'm going to go to spain (i'm from Belgium). and study there.
lots of people call me crazy. But guess what love is crazy!
I'm willing to do everything for her as long as i can be with her.
And i believe she has the same thoughts.
I'm actually her first real boyfriend and the first that kissed her! That makes her even more special to me. But 1 thing i'm affraid of, if it is the first time that she is in love what if she doesnt know whats the feeling like???
I sometimes have these periods that i think what if ...
btw my song for this is - the proclaimers - i would walk 500 miles -

I'm in a long relationship too... it's been almost 4 years! I loooove him... so so much! Mexico-England... it's hard, but we talk a lot over the phone, and msn, mails.... sometimes he comes over or I go, but that's like 3 times a year anyway... our song is right here waiting- richard marx... it always makes me wanna cry (I've cried with this song.. of course) Good luck everyone with this thing! It's so hard being away from your loved one.....

Ahh it makes me feel so much better knowing a lot of people are going through the same thing as me. I'm 15 and he's 17 and he lives in FL and I live in PA. It's so hard for me at times but I'm going to see him for spring break so i'm ecstatic =D
Here are some of the songs that made me feel better:
Tonight- FM Static
Alone in this Bed (Capeside)- Framing Hanley
From Where You Are- Lifehouse
Still- Matt Nathanson
The Night Before (Life Goes On)- Carrie Underwood
Wherever You Will Go- The Calling
Not a Day Goes By- Lonestar


Those are my favorites + most of the other ones were said already
