TITLE: Too Close To Quiet Verse 1 I’m not the type to say too much I leave the room before it shows I make a joke, I change the subject Act like I don’t already know But you’ve been sitting in my head now Like a song I can’t turn down And I don’t know what this is yet But I don’t want you leaving now Pre-Chorus And maybe I should play it safer Maybe I should keep my cool But every time you look over I forget what I’m meant to do Chorus So don’t stand too close Unless you mean it Don’t say my name Like there’s a secret in it I’m trying to be calm Trying to take this slow But you make it hard When you look at me like that And I know I’ve got scars I don’t talk about But somehow with you They don’t feel so loud So don’t stand too close Unless you need me Because I might let go If you believe me Verse 2 I’ve been the one who keeps it moving Never stays long enough to fall But you make leaving feel confusing Like maybe I don’t want that at all There’s something soft in the silence When your shoulder touches mine I tell myself it means nothing Then think about it all night Pre-Chorus And maybe I should keep my distance Maybe I should shut this down But every time you get near me I forget the way out Chorus So don’t stand too close Unless you mean it Don’t say my name Like there’s a secret in it I’m trying to be calm Trying to take this slow But you make it hard When you look at me like that And I know I’ve got scars I don’t talk about But somehow with you They don’t feel so loud So don’t stand too close Unless you need me Because I might let go If you believe me Bridge I don’t want to rush this I don’t want to wreck it I don’t want to be the man Who says too much and regrets it But I’d be lying If I said I don’t feel it There’s a line between us And we’re both near it Final Chorus So don’t stand too close Unless you mean it Don’t say my name Like there’s a secret in it I’m trying to be calm Trying to take this slow But you make it hard When you look at me like that And I know I’ve got scars I don’t talk about But somehow with you They don’t feel so loud So don’t stand too close Unless you need me Because I might let go If you believe me Outro Don’t stand too close Don’t look too long Because I’ve been pretending I’m not already gone
