i'm never gonna go that far
i'm never gonna try that hard
well i don't wanna shake your hand
and i'm not gonna be your friend
you're never gonna see me cry
and someone said the reason why
i can never find the words to say
send me on my way again
not again
You're just out of reach how you come is how you leave
temporary time is on your side
yeah it's on your side
well c'mon could you take me on
i just wanna come along
i'm never gonna be that cool
breaking all my rules
again not again
You're just out of reach how you come is how you leave
temporary time is on your side
yeah it's on your side
you're a sidewinder aren't you i can tell
cold lonely stranger very well
but there's a cold line of distance in the way you stare across a room
and there's a cold line of distance in the way you shook my hand
You're just out of reach how you come is how you leave
temporary time is on your side
yeah it's on your side
