Eyes that change colors in the light

A glazed over green or blue

Lifeless eyes, I'd waste away with you

A heart that beats in ever-steady rhythm

An icy pulse that hardly reaches through

Oh, cold heart, I'd keep it warm for you

Distance, distance keeps you safe

And I don't wanna scare you away

You're laughing 'cause it's funny

How you're fooling everybody but me

Your lips are curving at the ends

You walk like you've got all kinds of time

You look like you've got razors running down your spine

And your fingers run through your hair

The ring you wear, it's heavy now

'Cause it makes us the same and that weighs you down

I'm afraid that weight is gonna make you drown

I'm looking out for you but I don't think you wanna be found

(Out)

Distance, distance keeps you safe

And I don't wanna scare you away

You're laughing cause it's funny

How you're fooling everybody but me

There's a loneliness you carry inside your heart

You gave it all to me to keep from tearing you apart

'Cause I'm here, and I'm hopeless and I'm holding out for you

And I have to let you go, I've got everything to lose

So do what you do, what you do best

Chase the only one you know who couldn't care less

And spend your life thinking you have to earn somebody's love

Convince yourself you're happy, I hope that it's enough

She's lying to herself

Distance, distance keeps you safe

And I don't wanna scare you away

You're laughing cause it's funny

How you're fooling everybody but me

(She's lying to herself)

Distance, distance keeps you safe

And I don't wanna scare you away

You're laughing cause it's funny

How you're fooling everybody but me

(She's lying to herself)

I cut my hands on the sharp edge cracks

When I run my fingers down your razorback

I'll bleed the most for something that I can't have

When I run my fingers down your razorback
