arm's length

you come and go and you'll stay as you please

convinced a moment's time is all that i need

these temporary highs can't make me believe

that your feelings are true

holding out your hand

while you turn your head

i don't want half of your love

empty words you've said

bare unraveled thread

you know it's never enough

you can't love me this way

you can't keep me in chains

you can't lead me astray

from an arm's length away

you search for breathing space while i'm undersea

tell me to wait so you can sort through your needs

keep leaving trails that you'll follow to me

i can't let you get through

holding out your hand

while you turn your head

i don't want half of your love

empty words you've said

bare unraveled thread

you know it's never enough

you can't love me this way

you can't keep me in chains

you can't lead me astray

from an arm's length away

your absence won't define me now

held up my end with breath i've found

surrendered time to solid ground

solid ground

you can't love me this way

you can't keep me in chains

you can't lead me astray

from an arm's length away

you can't love me this way

you can't keep me in chains

you can't lead me astray

from an arm's length away

you can't love me this way

you can't keep me in chains
