[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?
