at arm's length
Writing it down seemed like a good idea at the time
I never meant to say it out loud
These things just happen sometimes
Over the phone you were so quiet
I never knew I would get through to you

I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind
And you said "Not at all"

It was so clear, right from the start, I'd be the crazy one
Such a good sport, you played along
Never turn tail and run
Though I could see you wanted to once or twice
I don't know why you didn't just lie or say goodbye

I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind
And you said "Not at all"
I hide in the corner, you come say goodnight
You sing my song at the end of the night
You don't seem to mind my neurotic side
You smile when you see me, you smile

I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind
And you said "Not at all"
I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind
And you said "Just a little"
I'm sorry
