Don't Get Closer

Perfect, I'll be the one that you've been searching for
I'll ditch the car and get you at the door
Ensure my words have not been said before
And I'll give you everything but only show one side
Ever adventuring, a shining light
The positivity that's in your life

But I can't keep pretending I'm somebody
When I can get knocked down by everyone

And you'll forget it when you're closer
When we get closer
You'll slowly get over, over me
So don't get closer

Maybe I'll still be the Romeo that puts love first
But words become cliched and sound rehearsed
I'll be a million miles away

But I can't keep pretending I'm somebody
When I can get knocked down by everyone

And you'll forget it when you're closer
When we get closer
You'll slowly get over, over me
And as we get older
As we grow older
You'll know that from afar is the best way to be with me
So don't get closer

Oh darling don't
Don't hold my hand so close
Oh darling don't
Don't hold my hand so close
But I can't keep pretending
No I can't keep pretending
No I can't keep pretending I'm someone

And you'll forget it when you're closer
When we get closer
You'll slowly get over, over me
And as we get older
As we grow older
You'll know that from afar is the best way to be with me
So don't get closer
