Stand Too Close Lyrics

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 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 attitude

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e91007-motion_city_soundtrack~stand_too_close_lyrics.html ]
All this distance
Years of sweet resistance
Swirling over head
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 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 over head
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 want to spend some time with you again
I'll spent some 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 want to spend some time with you again
