[Verse 1]
I don't wanna only call your name when I'm brokenhearted, yeah
I already know how much I've got to lose, oh, ooh-oh, oh
I don't wanna have to crash and burn to be where we started, yeah
I don't wanna ever need a map to you, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I've run so far, been so high
I'll chase the sun 'til our time

[Chorus]
But I ain't gonna keep my distance from you
Yeah, I already know what distance can do
If I let you get away, bury me today
Yeah, I ain't gonna keep my distance from you (Oh, yeah)

[Verse 2]
I'm so good at walls, good at lies, putting up my fences, oh, yeah
I'm human as it gets when it comes to you, oh, yeah
Looking in the mirror, seeing a man with a million faces, ooh, no
But every single one, they know the truth

[Chorus]
But I ain't gonna keep my distance from you
Yeah, I already know what distance can do
If I let you get away, bury me today
Yeah, I ain't gonna keep my distance from you

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
I've run so far, been so high
I'll chase the sun 'til our time

[Chorus]
But I ain't gonna keep my distance from you
Yeah, I already know what distance can do
If I let you get away, bury me today
Yeah, I ain't gonna keep my distance from you (Oh, yeah)

OneRepublic

OneRepublic is an American pop rock band, led by Ryan Tedder.

The band has released four studio albums, Dreaming Out Loud (2007), Waking Up (2009) and Native (2013), and Oh My My (2016). “Apologize” and “Counting Stars” are two of their most well-known singles, the former being their debut and the latter from the third album.

The band started with the name “Republic,” but then it was changed to “OneRepublic” or else it would be difficult to distinguish the group from other bands and other search items on search engines.
