I'll be honest, I really ain't that good with the ladies
If you put 5 girls in front of me then 5 of em wouldn't date me
I start talkin to a girl I think she probably hates me
It don't elate me, pullin 1s on ladies' charts when they rate me
It's like I'm fated to be alone for the rest of my life
Spending nights playin games with all of the lights off
Browsin the Internet and suddenly the Skype's off
It's that girl from the U.K., the one that makes me smile a lot
There's an ocean between us but she's the only girl I'm close to
She's got a boyfriend. I dunno what I'm supposed to do
Sometimes she complains about him and I comfort her
Secretly, I'm always hoping that he'll break up with her
Or maybe she'll leave him for me... but I doubt it
As far as my chances go, I should just forget about it
So I tried. But it just wasn't workin
I pretended I was cool but I was secretly hurtin
Til one day she calls me up and it sounds like she's cryin
Turns out her boyfriend cheated and she finally caught him lying
I tried to comfort her and I told her how I felt
She didn't say much for a minute and I could feel my heart melt
But then she told me that she felt the same way
We decided to go official after a couple of days
I can't believe this is happening, I finally got myself a girl
The only problem is she's on the other side of the world

So, so far
With all the distance I miss her but I still love her through that
Ocean wall
I wanna hug her and kiss but I just settle for
One more call
The same thing every night, I'll never see her through that
Ocean Wall, no

So now we're going steady, webcammin so I can see how her face look
For the first time I changed my single status on Facebook
It's going great, I talk to her on Skype every night
Before she goes to bed I tell her I love her and say goodnight
But one day I realize that it's all the same
Not a damn thing's changed, and I just feel so strange
I thought I'd feel closer but I'm only feelin the distance
I spend my nights awake wishin that she was my neighbor or something
I always tell her I miss her but I don't know what I'm missing
I know when I wake up tomorrow she still ain't gonna be with me
The Atlantic Ocean is kind of a big deal
The trip would cost a lot of money, I'd take a couple years to get it together
And even then I know it'd only be temporary
I'd have to leave and go back, to me that's kinda
scary
And she ain't the same as me, not socially broke
She could get a guy on the side and I'd probably never know
She could just lie to me, I'd probably never find out
It's not like I can check on her or go to her house
I'll probably never even meet her, she'll break up with me before I can
She's got friends and she's beautiful, I really don't stand a chance
So I send her a message tellin her all about what I'm feelin
I tell her we gotta break it off 'cause I'm just stealin her life away
No matter how much I dream about it, in the real world we're stuck
Damn... Long distance relationships suck
