Distance

According to the Distance Songfacts, Perri wrote this in the summer of 2010 about being in love with someone she worked with but not being able to tell them.

[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?
