Too Close

(album: The New Black And White, Pt. V - 2022)

I used to airbrush a sky
With a darker shade of blue
And a lighter tone
Than the brightest white
I used to start with black
That darkened the edges
Created a path, how to work
But colors change
Like leaves in a season
It was all too much sometimes

Too close for me to feel
Too close for me to love
Too close for me for everything or anything at all

I was hiding a lie
Too scared to show it
But you saw through me
And eased my mind
But this new feeling
Got me scared again
Cause it's all too much sometimes

Too close for me to feel
Too close for me to love
Too close for me for everything or anything at all

Too close for me to feel
Too close for me to love
Too close for me for everything or anything at all

You gave me time to think it over
Sometimes I lose it somehow, someway
You made it all so much better
So it will not be, and it cannot be

Too close for me to feel
Too close for me to love
Too close for me for everything or anything at all

Not too close for me to feel
Not too close for me to love
Not too close for me for everything or anything at all
Not too close for me for everything or anything at all
