Arm's Reach Lyrics

Arm's reach

Keeping you at arm's reach

Won't open my heart again

Won't open my heart again


Lonely

Afraid of being lonely

But company's not everything

It's safer underground


Arm's reach

Keeping you at arm's reach

Won't open my heart again

Won't open my heart again


Trusting


I used to be so trusting

Now I can't trust in anything again



This world is full of leaches

And open hearts are worse for wear

I've learned there's nothing wrong


With being so withdrawn


I'm running out of pages


Flipped through and frayed by flippant hands

Can't close an open book

The binding's been ripped off

So many other people's thoughts

Forced in my head I'm getting lost


Which are my own

Which are my own


I used to thrive in crowded halls

Now I favor narrow walls of solitude instead



This world is full of leaches

And open hearts are worse for wear

I've learned there's nothing wrong


With being so withdrawn


I'm running out of pages


Flipped through and frayed by flippant hands

Can't close an open book

The binding's been ripped off

More alone with company


Than when I was held in isolation

Bloodletting my need for your validation

Drop me back down


Into the hole

That I crawled out of 


Arm's reach

Keeping you at arm's reach

Won't open my heart again

Won't open my heart again


This world is full of leaches

And open hearts are worse for wear

I've learned there's nothing wrong


With being so withdrawn

Arm's reach

Keeping you at arm's reach

Won't open my heart again

Won't open my heart again

Trusting


I used to be so trusting

Now I can't trust in anything again



You have to be

Within arm's reach

To push someone away

You have to be

Within arm's reach

To push away from everything
