VERSE 1:
I have kept my distance.
Independent. On my own.
A superficial witness
With love i'd touch and go.
B-SECTION:
Could it be
For my own protection
I have only gone halfway?
Could it be
My fear of rejection
Drove your love away?
CHORUS:
I say don't get too close
Protect yourself from love.
It's hard to stay afloat
When you try and you try and you try.
I say don't get too close
Protect yourself from love.
Yet, I find it hurts the most
When you try and you try and you try
And you're not close enough.
VERSE 2:
Crowded room of people
I pretend to know.
I'd rather be a stranger.
I choose to walk alone.
B-SECTION:
Could it be
Living on the outside
Is much more than i can take?
Honestly,
I'd reach for affection
But it only slips away.
REPEAT CHORUS
Yeah, I wanna be
Close enough.
