lyrics

Look too close and you might see
Something changing, perfectly
But being there is a dangerous thing
If you can’t help yourself

Don’t you fix what ain’t broken, now
Don’t you question your good thing, now
Being there shouldn’t raise such questions
In everything

But you got a way
To raise something out of me

It easy if you keep your distance
Moving close defeats resistance
Being there is a dangerous thing
That you bring on yourself

I’ve seen it stand in the cold light of day
I’ve seen pretending and I’ve heard the claims
I’ve seen it all and now it all just seems the same

But you got a way
To make something out of me

I’ve looked too close - but what’s fair is fair
And being there is being there
And what I’ve seen is a dangerous thing
And I can’t help myself
