Stand Too Close

LETRA

Stand Too Close

If I stand too close
I might fall in
But if I'm too far gone
I'll never win
And if you believe in me
I might just wanna spend some time with you again

I'm afraid I tend to disappear
Into an anxious state
When you draw near
There is no reasoning
It's quite a silly thing
But it's the way I've been for years

So I will understand if you don't stay
They say I'm great at first
But then the magic fades
Into an awful hue of dismal views
And a pessimistic attitude

All this distance
Years of sweet resistance
Swirling overhead like angry clouds of discontent

I have apologized a billion times
When I've gone off the wall
Like Buster Rhymes
And pulled a stupid stunt
That left you thinking
There was something wrong with me
You've thrown a few choice phrases at my way
And I've ignored them all
As best I could
Except that tiny bit
How I just can't commit
There was some truth in what you say

All this distance
Years of sweet resistance
Swirling overhead like angry clouds of discontent

If I stand too close
I might fall in
But if I'm too far gone
I'll never win
And if you believe in me
I might just wanna spend some time with you again
I'll spend time with you again

If I stand too close
I might fall in
But if I'm too far gone
I'll never win
If you believe in me
I might just wanna spend some time with you again
