Arm's Length

I'll feel much better
When I finally let her
Find out what's really laying under my skin

This feeling of entropy
Is not all that strange to me
But it's how it's meant to be
Still it's all my fault
It's like driving to the hospital
Just to break down on the way
Leave a cold impression in the snow
Ruin someone else's day

I've been trying to keep you all at arm's length
Glass half-full people
Make no sense at all
Play a catchy song to pull the heartstrings
Embrace the moment between me and no one else

Cast away the format
Throw away the fight
Do you really think the government
Is keeping you safe tonight?
It's like a home without people
A match without a light
A bunch of stupid metaphors
I'm being forced to write

I've been trying to keep you all at arm's length
Glass half-full people
Make no sense at all
Play a catchy song to pull the heartstrings
Embrace the moment between me
And no one else
