With many miles between us and someone we love, we cannot help but long to be with them as the distance continues to grow. It is difficult to be away from someone who is constantly on our minds, and the further we stray away from them, the more we may feel that something is missing in our lives. One phone call can be worth a million when the person we love is far away, but it can be hard when you wish for more in the relationship. The Ivy and Lyncs keeps our hopes alive to the hurdles we may face in long distance relationships. Even with the distance between us and the person we love, the happiness in knowing that they are someone we will always rely on can keep us awake to the future we can look forward to having with them.
We are awakened to a dreamy tone that grows to a bright and lively beat. They start by emphasizing the frustrations that can come from being in a long distance relationship. Time is lost between them, and although they do not let each other see it, they still wish for more in the relationship. The chorus is gentle yet powerful and emotional as they share their love for one another even with the distance between them. They are one call away from each other, and the miles between them cannot take away their love. In the end, they will always be there for one another and are ready to break down the walls between them to be together again. The happy, energetic melody of the song reflects the message of hope in long distance relationships. The Ivy and Lyncs' "Don't Fall Asleep To This" is the song that will truly keep us awake to the hope of closing the distance between us and that special someone who is one call away.
