Love At A Distance

(album: Red Walls - 2015)

I must have misunderstood when you told me you didn't want any tension
I was walking on the fire you were burning just so I could get your attention
Did I mention
You have the prettiest face I've ever seen
I'm doing everything to get you close to me
I should've told you this sooner before she
Took you away

I know you better than you know yourself
Can't believe you didn't notice but I'm always looking out for you
I tried to love you when I didn't know how
But now I know
I've kept these feelings in for so damn long
I could show you that I'm worth it but you've never given me a chance
Not being with you's never felt so wrong
But for now I'll have to love you from a distance

Do you ever look at me in the way that I look at you when you're excited?
Am I ever the last thought that you think right before you lay down and go to bed?
Am I wasting
All the time that I could use to write theses words?
Knowing that you'll never be mine
Damn it hurts
There's way too many tears that have stained all of my shirts
I've gotta say

I know you better than you know yourself
Can't believe you didn't notice but I'm always looking out for you
I tried to love you when I didn't know how
But now I know
I've kept these feelings in for so damn long
I could show you that I'm worth it but you've never given me a chance
Not being with you's never felt so wrong
But for now I'll have to love you from a distance

I know you better than you know yourself
Can't believe you didn't notice but I'm always looking out for you
I tried to love you when I didn't know how
But now I know
I've kept these feelings in for so damn long
I could show you that I'm worth it but you've never given me a chance
Not being with you's never felt so wrong
But for now I'll have to love you from a distance
