lyrics

Any closer, and you leave me no choice but to pounce.
It's no grosser than stealing me in small amounts.
Why not just take it all at once?
No questions asked. No lines; no forms.

Any closer, and I'll be forced to drop my guard.
I'm a poser, and my will is a house of cards.
With just one breath it could collapse,
When all I do is pray for storms.

When we're dancing, I can't save the day.
There's just my defense and my hope
That like all things it, too, will fade away,
And I can tear the envelope.

Any closer, and I can't be blamed for my next move.
Hand on holster, I feel the creases and the grooves.
"Stand back. Leave everything to me."
That used to work. That used to count.

When we're dancing, I can't save the day.
There's just my defense and my hope
That like all things it, too, will fade away,
And I will leap without a rope.

You're no Girl Scout,
And let's be honest,
I've done my fair share of harm.
I have no clout,
But I believe
I was yours to cleave.
You had me ready to bet the farm.
