Arm’s Length Songtext
von daybloom

Blurry view, ten and two, I can′t think straight
Tryna find my way home through the heartache
I know I should just lay where my bed's made
But my car drove me straight to your place

Took a wrong turn, I mixed up the signals
Crying in your arms, now it′s official
Learned the hard way, he was a mistake
I should've listened to you in the first place

When I need you, you're always at my door
The way I want him to be, but he doesn′t have the heart for
I know that you would do whatever it takes
But I feel safe having you at arm′s length

(Now I feel safe)
(With you at arm's length)

Cry on your shoulder, when′s it gonna turn cold
You want a deep-dive, maybe I'm just shallow
Tell myself you′re not him, it won't sink in
Fooled once and fooled twice, it got me overthinking


Honestly, I′m just waiting for you to break
Got to know me too well, that's your mistake
Try to hold strong, breaking down my walls
I can't get myself to trust you or to fall (fall)

When I need you, you′re always at my door
The way I want him to be, but he doesn′t have the heart for
I know that you would do whatever it takes
But I feel safe having you at arm's length

(Now I feel safe)
(With you at arm′s length)

And I know that I contradict
Call me a hypocrite
If the shoe will fit

I know you'd gladly be my runner-up
But you′ll find another love
Where you're their number one

I might regret
Miss what we had
I know you′ll laugh

(Hey, Hey)
(Nananananana)
(Hey, Hey)


And I know that
When I need you, you're always at my door
The way I want him to be, but he doesn't have the heart for
I know that you would do whatever it takes
But I feel safe having you at arm′s length

Now I feel safe
With you at arm′s length

With you at arm's length
