Too Close

I'm endash with my baby
Like a brand new pair of cheap shoes
The kind that don't last as long as they should
You wear 'em out fast when it starts feeling blue
To be close almost too close

CHORUS
Not falling apart just trying to leave
Looks like a razor won't fit in between
I'm dancing so close to my baby
and the whole world just turned upside down

No second chance is still worth a try
to kiss my lone aspirations goodbye
Make no mistake it's a cold cheating game
Your heart starts to break you know who's to blame
when we're close - almost too close

Not falling apart just trying to leave
Looks like a razor won't fit in between
