distance Lyrics

[00:17.40] The sun is filling up the room,
[00:25.01] And I can hear you dreaming.
[00:26.82] Do you feel the way I do, right now?
[00:32.87] I wish we would just give up,
[00:36.24] 'Cause the best part is falling.
[00:39.56] Calling anything but love.
[00:43.36] And I will make sure to keep my distance,
[00:51.46] Say I love you when you're not listening,
[00:57.87] How long, can we keep this up, up, up?
[01:16.19] Please don't stand so close to me
[01:21.13] I'm having trouble breathing.
[01:24.20] I'm afraid of what you'll see, right now.
[01:30.58] I'll give you everything I am,
[01:33.79] All my broken heartbeats.
[01:36.88] Until I know you'll understand.
[01:41.03] And I will make sure to keep my distance,
[01:48.99] Say I love you when you're not listening,
[01:55.39] How long, can we keep this up, up, up?
[02:11.42] And I keep waiting
[02:17.53] For you to take me
[02:24.30] And you keep waiting
[02:29.93] To save what we had
[02:33.30] So I'll make sure to keep my distance,
[02:40.08] Say I love you when you're not listening,
[02:46.49] How long, can we keep this up, up, up?
[02:59.78] Make sure to keep my distance,
[03:05.65] Say I love you when you're not listening,
[03:12.87] How long, 'til we call this love, love, love?
