So Far So Good

I like her best when she's far away
And forgets to call and say goodnight
Ask if I am okay
I like her best when she calls me names
Gets me wrapped up in her games
I lose, I go back just the same.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
I won't love her any longer
If she holds me close
And God forbid just won't let go
I like her best when she's hard to reach
And is cryptic in her speech
Every time she talks to me
I like her best when she's on the run
Hard to catch but so much fun
Love the race but I never won
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
I won't love her any longer
If she holds me close
And God forbid just won't let go
So far so good
Smooth sailing can't get hurt
As long as she is out of sight
So far so good
Live in different neighborhoods
I barely see her but I'm alright
I'd be a fool to put up a fight
I bruise so easy and love even easier it's hard
I'm good as long as she's so far
I like her best when we play hide and seek
I count to ten and I don't peek
Somehow she never looks for me
I like her best when we play pretend
Shows me off the nights don't end
Wake up remember we're just friends
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
I won't love her any longer
Bruise and love too easy it gets hard
I'm good
The thing is I am doing good
Singing I'm so good as long as she's so far

I'll Take You

There are movies that I'd like to see
There are restaurants I'd like to eat at
And museums that I'd like to frequent
I'll take you
There's a dive bar with cheap rum and cokes
There's a new play that looks thought provoking
These invitations I won't be revoking
'Cause I'll take you
Oh there's a couple dozen others who could be company 'stead of me
So I'm glad you agreed to
Look for t-shirts at second hand stores
People watch at the park til they bore us
Sing on the street in a two person chorus
I'll take you
Come and see that weird band that I like
Ditch the trains and get there on our bikes
You're the one that I want to invite
So I'll take you
Oh, there's a couple dozen others who could be company 'stead of me
So I'm glad you agreed to
Maybe we could just stay in tonight
Do the crossword by the candle light
Order pizza and laugh til we cry
I'll take you
I'll take you

Space

Have you ever been bored? Go do a art project
I wish I could read your mind
Find out what you need
I wish I could hold you tight
But you may not let me
I wish I could slow you down
'Cause it's not a race
And you can take up space
*Giggles*
I wish I was in your shoes
To take the hurt away
I wish I could help you choose
But you may not let me
I wish you saw how you looked to me
Your beautiful face
And you can take up space
Oh I know nothing matters when you feel as low as you do
Nothing I can say even though I felt the same way too
I know that you won't hear it but I hope one day you can
Oh God, how could this be part of your plans?
I wish we could turn back time
To when we both were kids
I would try to be more kind
And hope you listen
I wish we could run away
But there's no such place
And you can take up
You can take up
You can take up space
