Distance is a song about long distance love. Meeting your love online, having an online relationship, and all the loneliness and emptiness you can feel from never having them with you.

The song is a simple expression of love. The verses capture the wild emotions that the persona experiences as a result of the passion shared with the lover. It's "a fire in my heart burning like all the suns in the universe" and "a breeze deep within blowing like all the winds in the galaxies", both of which capture the extremes of these emotions. They are "stirred by her kiss and her touch", referring to moments when the two share physical intimacy. That aside, she also has "sexy eyes" which the persona has adopted as her pet name as seen in the second part of the Chorus. The Chorus itself is a confession by the persona. Fully convinced that the lover is the one he is meant to spend the rest of his life with, he boldly declares that he'd want to take his last breath by her, and promises to hold tightly to her while their "worlds collide", a picture of the different battles they may face being two people coming from two very different backgrounds and having entirely different personalities. As they merge their hearts and lives together, the friction that arises will not be enough to quench his love for her. The confession continues in the Bridge where the persona tells his darling that he loves all of her, and all she does, calling it a moment of truth when he pours out his heart to her in those simple but powerful lines.

There are times one has to choose between duty and the heart. Sometimes, one is caught between a rock and a hard place. Love can be both heaven and hell as one faces the hard choice to let go because love does not hold back.

The song is a poetic expression of love for someone the persona thinks is the most special person to them. In Verse 1 he refers to her as "a woman like no other" (line 2) and in Verse 2 as "a woman who is more than gold" (line 2). She is a woman who has embraced him the way he is, with all his flaws and he terms her "a place where my demons are overcome" (Verse 1 line 2), and "a place where my failures are overthrown (Verse 2 line 2). She is a shoulder to lean on and is presently available during tough times as captured in the Bridge. The Chorus employs the use of Biblical allusion by referencing the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and how they were supernaturally delivered from the fiery furnace by an angel of God. She apparently has an infectious smile that calms nerves with an unusual ease (Chorus line 2). The last two lines of the Chorus express the persona's commitment to abide by her until death does them apart in keeping with the vows the two had earlier taken during their wedding.

A song about a relationship full of turmoil and lies. Sometimes these lies can get into your head to the point that they become closer to the truth than they ever should be while the other person is the one who's actually destroying the relationship.
