Keep Your Distance

keep your distance
dont go near me
dont go waving your hands at my face
the larger the space between us
the better it is for me to concentrate

i see you one day in all your morning glory
we've known each other for just a week or two
i remember your face from somewhere
dont think it's from my dreams
dont lecture me on sigmund freud
on subconscious premonitions of my destiny
you dont know anything about me

but what is it about you that bugs me
cant seem to get my focus when you're around
when you speak, i cant hear a sound
when you smile i cant see a thing.
your face comes up when i close my eyes,
when i blink, when darkness creeps in
keep your distance, dont go near me
your dangerously sweet
addictively intoxicating
the larger the space between us,
the longer i keep my sanity

what is it about you, that keeps me coming back
I'm begging please keep your distance
Coz I'm trapped.
Don’t play with my feelings, don’t toy with my heart.
If fate keeps us apart,
Don’t let our love affair start.
Keep your distance, don’t go near me.
The larger the space between us,
The longer I keep my sanity.

Keep your distance,
Just walk away.
