at arm's length
I thought you looked better at arm's length
What did i know
Here in the dim light at close range
Your best side shows
Words run slow to start but words are always hardest
So it's written in your eyes
And can be seen from close by

You put on your armor, you hold tight
Here comes the flood
It's hard to let go after a whole night
Holding it shut
Easy to see how you keep the hold world out
But it's written in your eyes
And can be seen from close by

You put on a good show, but what keeps your heart afloat
Is what is written in your eyes
And only seen from close by
