Distance

I see you see me
and i try to pretend
that i don't even notice
you wanting me more than a friend

i'll keep you at a distance
it can't be hard to do
i'll try to play this off
keep myself far from you

I know if i get close
i'll be pulled right in
to the ever-risky state
of always wondering

i wont show you i care
even though inside i do
so i'm sorry for the chance
the chance i can't give you

i'll catch your eye and smile
that's the best that i can give
it might be hard for me
but it's the way i have to live

my fear of drowning

water gets high
i know i'm gonna drown again
hold my breath and say goodbye
start my countdown from ten

i know i won't be saved this time
just like the times before
so i'll continue on
oh paradigms
Been expecting so much more

this pattern has been set
and it's starting to break me down
always solo in the duet
can't rise from this underground

will you all stare from the sidelines
as i call out for help here
or will someone see the signs
and save me...save me from my fear
