Distance yourself from me a little
I need time to recuperate
You are a ball of fire
And I am the dying hearth
Let me take a breath
And hug myself to sleep
Before you burn me into oblivion.
I was already drenched
Bathe in a pool of petrol
The slightest of your touch
Can scorch my tired soul
And ignite the raging inferno
That was brewing in itself within me
Distance is good
When you are fire
And I am a parched forest
Of lonely trees and lost twigs
Long forgotten by rain
That was out kissing the sea in summer
Distance is better
When all I need is a cold spring
In the middle of the dessert
A miracle waiting for deliverance
So distance yourself from me
A little
