[Verse 1]
The sun is filling up the room and I can hear you dreaming
Do you feel the way I do, right now?
I wish we would just give up
'Cause the best part is falling, call it anything but love
[Chorus]
And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?
[Verse 2]
Please don't stand so close to me, I'm having trouble breathing
I'm afraid of what you'll see, right now
I'll give you everything I am
All my broken heartbeats until I know you'll understand
[Chorus]
And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?
[Bridge]
And I keep waiting
For you to take me
You keep waiting
To save what we have
[Chorus]
So I'll make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?
[Outro]
Make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
How long 'til we call this love, love, love?
The sun is filling up the room and I can hear you dreaming
Do you feel the way I do, right now?
I wish we would just give up
'Cause the best part is falling, call it anything but love
[Chorus]
And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?
[Verse 2]
Please don't stand so close to me, I'm having trouble breathing
I'm afraid of what you'll see, right now
I'll give you everything I am
All my broken heartbeats until I know you'll understand
[Chorus]
And I will make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?
[Bridge]
And I keep waiting
For you to take me
You keep waiting
To save what we have
[Chorus]
So I'll make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?
[Outro]
Make sure to keep my distance
Say "I love you" when you're not listening
How long 'til we call this love, love, love?
