Don't Get Closer - Bry, Brian O Reilly

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
