Safe Distance

from The Cool One by Dwight Howard Johnson

/

lyrics

V1
Where too many people can recall your face and name
Is the sort of town for which home I wish wasn't claimed
The wave of marriages I fear is fast upon us
Then divorces funerals the house parties of adulthood
---
Lack of care leads to bliss in lack of knowledge
Close friends fade to grey then black after college
Since lost touch beats dealing with death
I like to love my friends from a safe distance
Love my friends from a safe distance

REFRAIN
If no one's involved
I'll never get hurt
If I stay inside
I'll never get burned

V2
To be of this world we're living in
Gotta harden that heart and cure leather from skin
The one's you trust oh how they'll deny you
The better you are to them the better they'll get you
----
But the odds can't always favor the house to win
So why even bother to fit in?
One day my love will make an appearance
Until then I guard my heart at a safe distance
Guard my heart at a safe distance

REFRAIN

PC
Friends you know how I try
Been sincere my whole life
But these snakes grew legs
and they fortified their bite
So tell me
How do you know who to trust?
How do you know who to love?

REFRAIN

Blame that on "Dos Cosas" Tom Daly's thunder stick and "Catfish" Johnson on the drums. But can you really blame them? ... more
