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 over head

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 is some truth in what you say

All this distance

Years of sweet resistance

Swirling over head

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

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

I'll spent some 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 want to spend some time with you again
