Keep Your Distance
Embracing Distance: The Dance of Fate & Consequences
Lyrics
If I cross your path again
If our paths cross again
Who knows where, who knows when
Uncertain of the time and place
On some morning without number
On some countless morning
On some highway without end
On an endless journey
Don't grasp my hand and say
Don't hold my hand and claim
Oh fate has brought us here today
Fate orchestrated our meeting today
Fate is only fooling with us friend
Fate is deceiving us, my friend
Keep your distance, keep your distance
Maintain a distance, don't get close
When I feel you close to me, what can I do but fall
When proximity tempts me, resisting a fall is challenging
Keep your distance, keep your distance
Urging to keep apart, it's an all or nothing situation
For with us, it must be all or none at all
In our relationship, there's no middle ground
It's a desperate game we play
We're engaged in a risky, desperate game
Throw our souls, our lives away
We recklessly sacrifice our souls and lives
On wounds that can't be mended
On wounds that can't heal
And debts that can't be paid
And debts that can't be repaid
Well I played and I got stung
I played the game and suffered consequences
Now I'm biting back my tongue
Now, I'm holding back my words
And sweeping out the footprints where I strayed
Erasing the traces of my mistakes
Keep your distance, keep your distance
Reiterate the need for distance
When I feel you close to me, what can I do but fall
When closeness entices, resisting the fall becomes a challenge
Keep your distance, keep your distance
Insisting on maintaining a significant separation
For with us, it must be all or none at all
Our relationship demands total commitment or none at all
Keep your distance, keep your distance
Repeat the plea for distance
When I feel you close to me, what can I do but fall
When nearness leads to vulnerability, resisting a fall is hard
Keep your distance, keep your distance
Stressing the importance of a considerable gap
For with us, it must be all or none at all
Our connection requires complete dedication or nothing
For with us, it must be all or none at all
Emphasizing the absolute nature of commitment in our relationship
