From a Distance
Russ Lyrics

I've been out of state
I have been traveling away from where I generally reside.

You been stuck in yours
You have remained in your usual surroundings.

It's not personal
My actions are not a direct result of my relationship with you.

When you call me and I ignore you, damn
My failure to answer your call is not based on a lack of respect or concern for you.

I'm just tryna detach, detach
I am attempting to distance myself emotionally.

I rarely ever get time to relax
I seldom have the opportunity to take a break and unwind.

But when I do I'm just tryna rejuvenate, meditate
In those rare moments of relaxation, I prefer to focus on restoring my energy and state of mind.

You want me to free time
You desire me to make additional time for you.

To talk to you
To engage in communication with you.

But I only talk to you when I got free time
However, the only moments I speak with you are when I am not preoccupied with other responsibilities.

I guess that's the difference
That dissimilarity may be the reason.

Between Miss and Mrs.
It may clarify the variance between being single and being married.

You lookin' for someone who's got time
You desire a partner with whom you can spend significant amounts of time.

Yeah, she don't really care about the fame or the dollars
She is not particularly interested in wealth or celebrity status.

She be bad as fuck in a hoodie and some joggers
Despite her casual fashion choices, she has an attractive appearance.

I be on the road ignoring all her FaceTimes
While traveling extensively, I neglect her video calls.

Not tryna break hearts, but I'm on my break time
I do not intend to cause heartache, but I require some personal downtime.

I just did tours non-stop
I recently completed numerous musical performance tours without pause.

Had girls on all fours and on top
I engaged in sexual activity with multiple partners.

I had sisters, I had cousins doin' freak shit
I was involved with various women, some of whom were related to one another, who participated in risque behavior.

Now I'm tryna chill, smoke weed, make these hits
Currently, my focus is on relaxing, using marijuana, and creating new music.

I know I promised
I am aware that I made assurances.

But sometimes shit pops up when you poppin', damn
However, unforeseeable issues frequently arise when one becomes successful. Curses!

I know we text a lot
We communicate via text message frequently.

When I see you, best believe we having sex a lot
If we are face-to-face, we most certainly engage in copious sexual relations.

Connect the dots
Piece together these clues.

Before you try and draw conclusions
Prior to crafting any assertions based on these facts.

Love is feeling like it's all illusions
Consider the concept of love to be a mirage, without genuine substance.

I'm still young, lemme go through my phases
I am still in the process of maturing and experiencing various life stages.

Lemme adjust, girl, I just got famous
Allow me some time to cope with my newfound acclaim and visibility.

I fuck with you from a distance
I maintain a relationship with you, but at an emotional remove.

Yeah, yeah, oh-oh, mm

Fuck with you from a distance
I remain sexually involved with you, but reserve certain boundaries when it comes to emotional connection.
