Distant

Lately, I've been feeling distant
Don't really know what I've been wishing for
But I've been praying that when it rains, that it starts to pour
'Cause as of recent, my closest have chosen to ignore
At least they'd have a reason they haven't came knocking on my door

It's wet outside
And I just purchased these new blazers
I know you 'sposed to wear 'em, but they're cleaner than some paper
I'll never say goodbye, just think about a see you later
It's been months, I only see you when I read it in the papers
You've been distant lately

Or is it me, I guess I'll never know
But I'ma put the blame on you so I can start to cope
I'm on a flight and I'm 'bout to enter a different zone
'Cause maybe someone offers their time when I'm finally far from home

Been getting messages, 'bout where you been
Checked your location, I noticed that you ain't at the crib
You're awfully distant, it isn't like you to disappear
I know you weren't invited, but come to this function after six

'Cause everybody loves you, and knows you, and they've been missing you
Everybody told you you're welcome, without the invite dude
Nah it wasn't communicated, but it's implied
You're acting really distant and it's messing up your life

Why do you keep on pushing and shoving when others want you 'round
Then you start complaining and acting like someone got you down
You're going through a lot and I get it, but so are we
But you keep begging for attention, it's clear as the eye can see

I've tried to come around to understand the other side
I'm feeling like I'm Shrek, how I'm making these people run and hide
They judge me without knowing me, knowing I'll waste their time
So I don't bother having company from those who don't want mine

I guess I'm distant lately
But I'm exaggerating things
Because I never seem alone, look at the smile on his face
And when I step into a room, I start to brighten up the place
But I've been woken by the light through the curtains each time the skies are gray
I'm distant

And I'm different
But I'm thankful for what I'm given
It just the life I started living, and they thought they had a clue, but all the clues are in this Listening

Is you listening, when I turn up, them ears turn down
Put all this effort in relations, where the years go now
I guess it's different when you hearing all the cheers in crowds
But when the lights come on, there's not a soul around
They call you distant
