distance lyrics

I heard you on the phone, I had you in mind

I've been on the run since you walked through the hallway

Heard it all before, I don't even mind

I'll do anything, pull me in and I'm far away

You're right there

But I won't say that I'm standing, I'm right here

When I see you, I panic

So scared of the way it might pan out

Well, I don't want to say that this was hard, it was

Trying not to stay, but that just made it worse

I've been keeping my distance

I just wanna know what you're thinking

I just can't explain the way it hurts

Now that what we had is gone

I don't have the words

I'm so bad at playing along

Saving my feelings

I've been keeping my distance

I talked about it last night, thought I was fine

Helped you pack your things, put your bags in the hallway

Maybe in a past life, problems aside

We could make it home, I'd hear you when you're calling

You're right there

But I won't say that I'm standing, I'm right here

When I see you, I panic

So scared of the way it might pan out

Well, I don't want to say that this was hard, it was

Trying not to stay, but that just made it worse

I've been keeping my distance

I just wanna know what you're thinking

I just can't explain the way it hurts

Now that what we had is gone

I don't have the words

I'm so bad at playing along

Saving my feelings

I've been keeping my distance

I've been feeling so high on the way down

Hope I get another chance, 'cause I know I wouldn't

Wouldn't let you pass by, wouldn't even think twice

Let you out of my mind, I don't even know why

I've been feeling so high on the way down

Said you treated me bad, 'cause you know I couldn't

Mmm, you know I couldn't

Well, I don't want to say that this was hard, it was

Trying not to stay, but that just made it worse

I've been keeping my distance

I just wanna know what you're thinking

I just can't explain the way it hurts

Now that what we had is gone

I don't have the words

I'm so bad at playing along

Saving my feelings

I've been keeping my distance
