Stand Too Close

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 want to 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 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 Busta Rhymes

And pulled a stupid stunt that left you thinking

there was something wrong with me

You've thrown a few choice phrases out my way

And I've ignored them all as best I could

Except that time you picked

How I just can't commit

There is some truth in what you say



All this distance

Years of sweet resistance

Swirling overhead

like angry clouds of discontent



If I stand to close I might fall in

But if I'm too far gone I'll never win

If you believe in me I might just want to spend some time with you again

I'll spend some time with you again



If I stand to close I might fall in

But if I'm too far gone I'll never win

If you believe in me I might just want to spend some time with you again
