[Verse 1]
Hey, it’s Delilah, don’t you worry about the city
I play your music, close my eyes and it feels like you’re right here with me every time
Baby, I miss you but it’s fine, I swear I’m fine
I read an article about you in the paper
Said that you were gaining traction and your music's made you famous like it should
Doing things I always knew you could
Doesn’t it feel good

[Chorus]
Oh, you’re far away from me
But oh, I know that you’re happy
That’s how things should be
Yeah, that’s how things should be

[Verse 2]
I keep that picture of the two of us together
In that shoebox in my closet, I look at it so much it’s tattered on the ends
And I wonder when we’ll meet again
Will you hold me then?

[Chorus]
Oh, you’re far away from me
But oh, I know that you’re happy
That’s how things should be
Yeah, that’s how things should be
[Bridge]
I know a thousand miles is far
So thank god for those late night calls
And letters that you write me every day
And yeah our friends make fun of us
But we can laugh along because we know our love is strong enough to stay
Baby, I can promise you the first time I laid eyes on you
I knew my world would never be the same
And you’re to blame

[Verse 3]
Hey, it’s Delilah, thinkin' 'bout you from the city
And I’m counting down the days until I’ve got you right here with me by my side
But until then I’ll close my eyes
And dream about you every night
I’ll love you from New York tonight
