Come Near Me lyrics

We've been here before, don't fear me

Don't stand by the door, come near me

We've been here before, don't fear me

Don't stand by the door, come near me

Quick thought, left or right

Could it be a strong case of fight or flight?

We'd never know you're slightly overworked

And self-conscious

Sweating beads of doubt

This can't be right

Whisperin' out, "This can't be right, right?"

This ain't like a DVD

Pretty from aftershave

I'm scared life will leave me

Strung out and needin' love

Surely I'm as overcome but brimstone won't come to [lungs?]

But I ain't done

Surely I ain't done

Oh, nah, nah

I ain't done

Oh, but my mind's on the run

Caused by your never-ending dream

And it ain't what it seems

It ain't what it seems

You know what I mean?

We've been here before, don't fear me

Don't stand by the door, come near me

We've been here before, don't fear me

Don't stand by the door, come near me

Monster on the bed, regurgitating out

There's monkey on my bite

Pulling it like puppet strings, slow to react

Tell me what's the matter, love

Life's drive slow-mo

Front crawl in speedos

Fight against the rising tide

Breathe deep, never stop clawing at the light

Clinging on to what we got

But I ain't done

I ain't done

Surely, surely, surely we must overcome

But my mind's on the run

My mind's on the run

Caused by your never-ending dream

Nah, and it ain't what it seems

It ain't what it seems

Baby girl, it ain't what it seems

Nah, it ain't what it seems

Too cruel to be mean

To be cruel

Don't wanna lose ya

Uh

We've been here before, don't fear me

Don't stand by the door, come near me

We've been here before, don't fear me

Don't stand by the door, come near me
