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 pessimistic attitudes

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 Busta 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 disco

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
