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 want
to 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 attitudes

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
Veers of sweet resistance
Swirling overhead like angry clouds of discontent

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 then I might just want
to spend some time with you again
I'd spend some time with you again
