Stick Up Kid - Keeping My Distance lyrics

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
