STICKUP KID LYRICS

"Keeping My Distance"

The waves smash along the rocks that line the bay
and every bottle I take down reminds me of your face still smiling
not hiding how good it felt on the inside
now we're dying and you're trying
to keep a straight face that says, "I'm lying"

I guess I must be getting old
I see new wrinkles on my face
and my memory of you is getting older
I guess this love is getting cold
My blood is freezing in my veins
I never thought that this would be too tough to shoulder

Don't stay, I'll wait up in my bed for you
and watch this end from a bird's eye view
Just keeping my distance while you waste yourself
doing what you want to do
In spite of all my love for you I'll keep my distance

Your eyes tell me all I need to know tonight
just when I thought I had this right
you turned off all the lights
and you left this unsettled:
Keys in hand with your right foot on the pedal
so don't meddle
you'll win this war but I'll take the battle

Don't stay, I'll wait up in my bed for you
and watch this end from a bird's eye view
Just keeping my distance while you waste yourself
doing what you want to do
In spite of all my love for you I'll keep my distance

And I know when the world's on fire I'm safe behind this window
so don't stay
but if you take my things, please just leave my pillow
it helps me to feel a little

Don't stay, I'll wait up in my bed for you
and watch this end from a bird's eye view
Just keeping my distance while you waste yourself
doing what you want to do
In spite of all my love for you I'll keep my distance

Some days I wouldn't leave my bed for you
I'd watch this end from a bird's eye view
Just keeping my distance while you waste yourself
doing what you want to do
I'll do me and you do you
I'll keep my distance

I'm keeping my distance
