[Verse 1: Tate, with Sean]
I stay away, 'cause there's a part of me
Knowing that I need that space to be
Create my path into the unknown
Circle and back into what means most

[Pre-Chorus: Tate and Sean]
I keep a distance, for my own purpose
And I can tell you feel the same
The expectations and situations
Are driving me insane

[Chorus: Tate and Sean]
And it don't matter 'cause I push right through
Do you understand I'm just like you?
All the doubts that I have ever had
Were never built to last

[Post-Chorus: Tate, with Sean]
That's why we're distant
For our own purpose
That's why we're di- di- di-
That's why we're distant

[Verse 2: Sean, with Tate]
It's hard to know if these thoughts are true
If I'm driftin' I'm shiftin' my point of view
'Cause I've been told I need to separate
Get away from the crowd and carve my way

[Pre-Chorus: Tate and Sean]
I keep a distance, for my own purpose
And I can tell you feel the same
The expectations and situations
Are driving me insane

[Chorus: Tate and Sean]
And it don't matter 'cause I push right through
Do you understand I'm just like you?
All the doubts that I have ever had
Were never built to last

[Post-Chorus: Tate and Sean]
That's why we're distant
For our own purpose
That's why we're di- di- di-
That's why we're distant

[Bridge: Tate, (Sean)]
Distant, distant, distant (distance)
This purpose, purpose, purpose (purpose)
This distance, distant, distant (distant)
This purpose (purpose)

[Post-Chorus: Tate and Sean, (Tate)]
That's why we're distant (distant, distant)
For our own purpose (purpose, purpose)
That's why we're di- di- di- (distant, this purpose)
That's why we're distant

[Outro: Sean, with Tate, (Tate)]
For our own purpose
That's why we're di- di di- (distant, distant)
I keep a distance
For our own purpose
That's why we're different
