"Stand Too Close" by Motion City Soundtrack

"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 wanna 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 Buster Rhymes
And pulled a stupid stunt
That left you thinking
There was something wrong with me.
You've thrown a few choice phrases at 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,
Years 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,
I might just wanna spend some time with you again.
I'll spend time with you again!

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 wanna spend some time with you again..."
