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 heard you on the phone, I had you in mind

I've been on the run since you walked through the hallway

Heard it all before, I don't even mind

I'll do anything, pull me in and I'm far away

You're right there

But I won't say that I'm standin', I'm right here

When I see you, I panic

So scared of the way it might pan out

Well, I don't want to say that this was all it was

Tryin' not to stay, but that just made it worse

I've been keepin' my distance

Well, I just wanna know what you're thinkin'

I just can't explain the way it hurts

Now that what we had is gone

I don't have the words

I'm so bad at playin' along

Savin' my feelings

I've been keepin' my distance

I talked about it last night, thought I was fine

Helped you pack your things, put your bags in the hallway

Maybе in a past life, problems aside

Wе could make it home, I'd hear you when you're callin'

You're right there

But I won't say that I'm standin', I'm right here

When I see you, I panic

So scared of the way it might pan out

Well, I don't want to say that this was all it was

Tryin' not to stay, but that just made it worse

I've been keepin' my distance

Well, I just wanna know what you're thinkin'

I just can't explain the way it hurts

Now that what we had is gone

I don't have the words

I'm so bad at playin' along

Savin' my feelings

I've been keepin' my distance

I've been feelin' so high on the way down

Hope I get another chance, 'cause I know I wouldn't

Wouldn't let you pass by, wouldn't even think twice

Let you out of my mind, I don't even know why

I've been feelin' so high on the way down

Said you treated me bad, 'cause you know I couldn't

Mmm, you know I couldn't

Well, I don't want to say that this was all it was

Tryin' not to stay, but that just made it worse

I've been keepin' my distance

I just wanna know what you're thinkin'

I just can't explain the way it hurts

Now that what we had is gone

I don't have the words

I'm so bad at playin' along

Savin' my feelings

I've been keepin' my distance
