If I take it for what it's worth I take too much and leave nothing for her And I don't know why I do it And I don't know how to stop When every move is automatic And I always fuck it up... So I keep her at a distance, I keep her as a dream At least this way I'm consistent, and I don't have to come clean More than nothing, less than something More than nothing, less than something More than nothing, less than something More more more I'm a wall, thick as concrete When I shut right down and forget how to breathe And I don't know why I do it And I don't know how to stop When every time she brings her hatchet, I hang it right back up And I keep her at a distance, I keep her as a dream At least this way I'm consistent, and I don't have to come clean More than nothing, less than something More than nothing, less than something More than nothing, less than something More more more Always wanting, what I can't have She's got a boyfriend, with all these plans And I want to tell her how sure I am... But I can't... So I keep her at a distance, I keep her as a dream At least this way I'm consistent, and I don't have to come clean Oh I keep her at a distance, I keep her as a dream At least this way I'm consistent, and I don't have to come clean But then she leads to me to the doorway, as the bar is shutting down And pulls the hair back from my temple, as she spins herself around And says "I know you've been keeping this in a hole in the ground... But I'm feeling what you're feeling, baby, how does that sound?" And as she kissed me, I can taste the whiskey sweet on her mouth, If only just for now... If only just for now
