Proximity

Remember all the tough times when you and I
Said, "We're done," but we faked it
Look into your eyes, I don't recognize
Since your love for me faded
And I know that we've grown apart
The space between us two is dark
As big as it is, we could feed a whole planet

I know we
Probably better off with distance
But I need proximity
'Til I understand what's missin'
You won't like that version of me
Bottom line is we're too different
But I love when you next to me
Probably better off with distance
But I need proximity

We've been arguin' too loud
Got complaints from the neighbors, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Seems like we've gotten good at actin' like strangers (oh, oh, ooh)
Girl, don't that make you wonder what kind of game are we playin'?
(What kind of game?) Hmm, hmm (what kind of game are we playin')
The only thing we deserve it is what we not sayin'

I know we
Probably better off with distance (whoo, whoo)
But I need proximity
'Til I understand what's missin' (missin', missin')
You won't like that version of me
Bottom line is we're too different, yeah
But I love when you next to me
Probably better off with distance
But I need proximity, yeah (oh)

Probably better off with distance
(But I need proximity)

Holdin' you close
Sometimes I push you away, won't let you go
I guess I'm just too afraid to let you know
How bad I want you to stay here
Oh, I'm holdin' you close
Holdin' you close
Sometimes I push you away, won't let you go
I guess I'm just too afraid to let you know
How bad I want you to stay here
How bad I want you to stay here

Probably better off with distance
But I need proximity
'Til I understand what's missin' ('til I understand)
You won't like that version of me (bottom line is)
Bottom line is we're too different, yeah
But I love when you next to me (ooh)
Probably better off with distance
But I need proximity

I, I need proximity, yeah, yeah
