Stand Too Close

Lyrics

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 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 tiny bit — 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 disco 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 spend 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
