The sun how it blinds
But it only reminds
That your fire is so far away
And I will not see you
Not now or other day
I'm keeping everyone at arm's length
I'm lost, battle weary
No one can get near me
Clearly I've lost my nerve
But have received more flack
Than probably I deserve
I've decided to keep all, at arm's length
CHORUS
From high street curve
I'm trying to preserve
Just some dignity and respect
For a figure unnerved
BRIDGE
And you too have suffered
But not unlike any other
You've fallen just like the rest
But why should we both settle for second best?
So to keep our sanity and strength
We're both better off keeping each other At arm's length
