Don't Come Close - Yeasayer

Don’t come close

I don’t want you to see my face, my face

You go away;

I work so hard

I don’t have time to start all over

I’d like to be

Leave you without feeling bad

And leave you with the knowledge that

Most, most people would release you

Most, most people don’t change;

they only get old

So, if I let you back in close

Will you hurt me?

In all your life

You’ll never live down what you can’t forget, so forget it

Flicking away them gnats and flies

Bringing disease to the surface

Our child must be sharper than your average man

Tell me, honey, what’s the plan?

Most, most people would release you

Most, most people don’t change;

they only get old

So, if I let you back in close

Will you hurt me?

Don’t come close, she said

I’d never stoop so low

I’m gonna need some telling me you want me

I can’t hear you so take some time to think about it

Most, most, people would release you

(I'm gonna need some telling me you want me)

Most, most people don’t change;

they only get old

(I can’t hear you so take some time to think about it)

So, if i let you back in close

(I'm gonna need some telling me you want me)

Will you hurt me?

(I can’t hear you so take some time to think about it)
