Yeasayer - Don't Come Close

Don't come close
I don't want you to see my face, my face
You go away, I work so hard
I don't have time to start all over
I'd like to be

Leave you without feeling bad
I'd leave you with the knowledge that

Most, most people would release you
Most, most people don't change, they only get old
So, if I let you back in close
Will you hurt me?

In all your life
You'll never live down what you can't forget, so forget it
Flick it away, then our time flies
Bringing disease to the surface
Ouch, I must be

Sharper than your average man
Tell me honey what's the plan?

Most, most people would release you
Most, most people don't change they only get old
So, if I let you back in close
Will you hurt me?

Don't come close, she said
I'd never stoop so low

I'm gonna need some telling me you want me
I can't hear you so take some time to think about it

Most, most, people would release you
(I'm gonna need some telling me you want me)
Most, most people don't change they only get old
(I can't hear you so take some time to think about it)
So, if I let you back in close
(I'm gonna need some telling me you want me)
Will you hurt me?
(I can't hear you so take some time to think about it)
