[Verse 1]
I'm keeping my calendar open
Even if it takes me years
'Til you figure out what your plan is
You figure out all of your fears
I don't want to know anything about her
Or what you feel like you have to defend
But I've seen your situation
And the world she keeps you in

[Chorus]
I'm keeping my distance [2x]
And I'll wait until my time is here
I'm keeping my distance
I'm keeping my distance
And I'll wait until you make it clear

[Verse 2]
If you don't want to rush it baby
Well then by all means don't
But I'm going to wait for the day when
When you see that it's me you want
I can see, I can tell that you need me
You know that I need you too
So why on earth can't you ever let her go
Will you ever try anything new
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Where will you find the strength
I can't hold you against your will
You keep me at arm's length
I'm reaching out to hold you still
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
I can see that you need me
You know that I need you too
So why on earth can't you ever let her go
Will you ever try anything new

[Outro]
I'm keeping my distance[2x]
And I'll wait until my time is here
I'm keeping my distance [2x]
