Yeasayer - Don't Come Close lyrics

Don't come close
I don't want you to see my face my face
You go away, I work so hard
I don't have time to start all over
I'd like to be

Leave you without feelin' bad
And leave you with the knowledge that

Most, most people would release you
Most, most people don't change
They only get old
So, if I let you back in close
Will you hurt me?

In all your life
You'll never live down what you can't forget
So forget it
Flickin' away them gnats and flies
Bringin' disease to the surface
Our child must be

Sharper than your average man
Tell me, honey, what's the plan?

Most, most people would release you
Most, most people don't change
They only get old
So, if I let you back in close
Will you hurt me?

"Don't come close, " she said
I'd never stoop so low

I'm gonna need some tellin' me you want me
I can't hear you
So take some time to think about it
Most, most, people would release you
(I'm gonna need some tellin' me you want me)
Most, most people don't change
They only get old (I can't hear you
So take some time to think about it)
So, if i let you back in close
(I'm gonna need some tellin' me you want me)
Will you hurt me? (I can't hear you
So take some time to think about it)
