Every time we're a little like strangers

Like we don't really know each other yet

I'm a tourist in your town

Who's never truly at home

Still, anything's somehow better than being apart

The weeks in between are way too long

On the phone, it just makes us sick

I don't know your everyday life

And if you don't talk about it

It stays like your stuff in my closet

I sit on the train for hours

And feel with every breath

I hate our love long-distance

I have you for a moment, but never all the way

The separation drives me crazy

And where you were, I don't ask

I hate our love long-distance

I've been standing on the platform for an hour

My hands frozen around the coffee

My friends have already asked

I canceled for today

I wonder if this'll tear us apart someday

I hate our love long-distance

I have you for a moment, but never whole

The separation drives me crazy

And where you were, I don't ask

I hate our love long-distance

And on Sundays I sit next to you

And I know for sure we'll make it

We'll sort it out

And on Mondays I wake up again

And think about it too much

Because I'm not sure

I hate our love long-distance

I have you for a moment, but never whole

The separation drives me crazy

And where you were, I don't ask

I hate our love long-distance

I have you for a moment, but never whole

The separation drives me crazy

And where you were, I don't ask

I hate our love long-distance

SONG MEANING

Revolverheld and Schomaker drop listeners right into the bittersweet reality of a long-distance relationship. Each reunion feels like meeting a new person: the singer is a perpetual tourist in his partner’s city, never fully at home, yet convinced that even this half-life is better than being apart. Trains, cold station platforms and endless phone calls paint a vivid picture of love stretched across miles. The chorus hammers home the frustration: “I hate our love at a distance… I always have you for a moment, but never completely.”

Despite the anger and exhaustion, the song also flashes moments of quiet hope. Sunday cuddles whisper “we can make this work,” even if Monday mornings bring fresh doubt. That push-and-pull captures the universal struggle of couples split by geography: craving closeness, fearing it will all unravel, yet choosing to believe that love is strong enough to bridge the gap.
