Lyrics
Keep your distance
Stay away from me
I ain't yet the man I might appear to be
So, to keep me from disgrace
Help to hide my dirty face
Keep your distance; stay away
I've been out of touch
And in denial
Thinking I had it all worked out all the while
I might have got my act together
But that just ain't my style
Keep your distance; run a mile
I been nursing some old misery of mine
Constructing this delusion by my own design
I was riding high
And so for the decline
Keep your distance; give it time
Been seeking some alternative to truth
With the kind of mindless arrogance
One carries through their youth
Still so much to prove
Still so little proof
Keep your distance; stay away
I guess you don't know you been sleeping 'til you wake
Can't perceive the dawn until it breaks
Keep your distance; stay away from me
I'm not the man I might appear to be
But, at least I know my place
Don't give me any grace
Just keep your distance; stay away
