Keeping My Distance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm keeping my calendar open
Even if it takes me years
'til you figure out what your plan is
You figure out all of your fears
I don't wanna know anything about her
Or what you feel like you have to defend
But i've seen your situation
And the world she keeps you in
Chorus
I'm keeping my distance
I'm keeping my distance
And i'll wait until my time is here
I'm keeping my distance
I'm keeping my distance
And i'll wait until you make it clear
If you don't want to rush it baby
Well then by all means don't
But i'm gonna wait for the day when
You see that it's me you want
I can see, i can tell that you need me
You know that i need you too
So why on earth can't you ever let her go
Will you ever try anything new
Repeat chorus
Where will you find the strength
I can't hold you against your will
You keep me at arm's length
I'm reaching out to hold you still, yeah, yeah, yeah
I can see that you need me
You know that i need you too
So why on earth can't you ever let her go
Will you ever try anything new
I'm keeping my distance
I'm keeping my distance
And i'll wait until my time is here
I'm keeping my distance
I'm keeping my distance
