The Fine Chairs

Lyrics

KEEP THE DISTANCE

I thought you'd be the one
To understand what's going on
But I've think you've lost control
About what's happening to your soul
It took me way too long
To fix the things that kept me strong
You're a magnet of disappointment
my trust's been on the dole.

You gotta keep the distance
You're far too much involved
You gotta keep the distance
The question how to keep fun's gotta be solved.

I wonder how you stand
The days of closeness for so long
Behind the words you say
The boredom's ready for a kill
To believe you're something special
That's where I went so wrong
But that soulmate thing is something
That will live through the thrill.

You gotta keep the distance...

So don't you think you're on the whip hand
You'd rather realize
You can bustle around as much as you want
At last I stopped to care
You'd better wait for someone else
To cut you to size
To treat me like a fool
Is simply unfair.
