5 Songs for the Long Distance Relationship Blues

Whether a state or an ocean selfishly lies between you and your love, allow these songs to cure your blues, but they’ll probably make you sadder.

1) “Here with Me” – The Killers 



Lines to belt with tears in your eyes: “Don’t want your picture on my cell phone, I want you here with me.­ Don’t want your memory in my head now, I want you here with me.”

2) “Set the Fire to the Third Bar” – Snow Patrol

Lines to belt with tears in your eyes: “I’m miles from where you are. I lay down on the cold ground. I, I pray that something picks me up and sets me down in your warm arms.”

3) “Transatlanticism” – Death Cab for Cutie

Line to belt out with tears in your eyes: “I need you so much closer.”

 4) “Cars and Telephones” – Arcade Fire

Lines to belt out with tears in your eyes: “Cause I like cars more than telephones. Your voice in my ear makes me feel so alone.”

5)  “Comin’ Home” – City And Colour

Line to belt out with tears in your eyes: “I’ve driven down the Highway 1 just hopin’ that I’d see you soon”
