Young teacher the subject Of schoolgirl fantasy She wants him so badly Knows what she wants to be Inside her there′s longing This girl′s an open page Book marking She′s so close now This girl is half his age
Don′t stand to close to me
Her friends are so jealous You know how bad girls get Sometimes it′s not so easy To be the teacher′s pet Temptation, frustration So bad it makes him cry Wet bus stop, whe′s waiting His car is warm and dry
Don′t stand so close to me
Loose talk in the classroom To hurt they try and try Strong words in the staffroom The accusations fly It′s no use He sees her He starts to shake he starts to cough Just like the old man in That famous book by Nabakov
I wake up all alone, somewhere unfamiliar. Been gone so many days, I’m losing count. When I think of home, I see your face. I know I have to wait…
Chorus So close, yet so far It’s tearing me apart What I would do to be there with you? So close, yet so far It’s tearing me apart What I would do to be back with you?
I miss hearing your laughter And the little things Forgotten what it’s like to hold you. Cause where I am right now so unforgiving It’s numbing everything
Chorus We’re so close, yet so far It’s tearing me apart What I would do to be there with you? So close, yet so far It’s tearing me apart What I would do to be back with you?
So promise No matter how long it takes for me to get back To you You’ll wait for me.
I promise No mater how far away I go I’ll come back for you Just wait and see
I miss being at home I miss you face Don’t think I can wait…
Chorus We’re so close, yet so far It’s tearing me apart What I would do to be there with you? So close, yet so far It’s tearing me apart What I would do to be back with you?
I promise It’s tearing me apart No mater how far away I go I’ll come back for you I promise It’s tearing me apart What I would do What I would do What I would do to be there with you?
I′ve spent so much time throwing rocks at your window That I never even knocked On your front door
I′ve walked by statues And never even made one chip But if I can leave a mark On the monument of the heart I just might lay myself down With a little more hope than I had
The last day, the last day, the last day...
Wait a time To spare these lies we tell ourselves These days have come and gone But this time is sweeter than honey
Green light, Seven Eleven You stop in for a pack of cigarettes You don′t smoke, don′t even want to Hey now, check your change Dressed up like a car crash Your wheels are turning but you′re upside down You say when he hits you, you don′t mind Because when he hurts you, you feel alive Hey babe, is that what it is
Red lights, gray morning You stumble out of a hole in the ground A vampire or a victim It depend′s on who′s around You used to stay in to watch the adverts You could lip synch to the talk shows
And if you look, you look through me And when you talk, you talk at me And when I touch you, you don′t feel a thing
If I could stay... Then the night would give you up Stay...and the day would keep its trust Stay...and the night would be enough
Faraway, so close Up with the static and the radio With satelite television You can go anywhere Miami, New Orleans London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen I can′t call And if you jump, you just might fall And if you shout, I′ll only hear you
If I could stay... Then the night would give you up Stay...then the day would keep its trust Stay...with the demons you drowned Stay...with the spirit I found Stay...and the night would be enough
Three o′clock in the morning It′s quiet and there′s no one around Just the bang and the clatter As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang And the clatter As an angel Hits the ground
I feel so close to you right now It′s a force feel I wear my heart upon my sleeve, like a big deal Your love bows down, I mean surround me like a waterfall And there′s no stopping us right now I feel so close to you right now
(dance beat plays)
I feel so close to you right now It′s a force feel I wear my heart upon my sleeve, like a big deal Your love bows down, I mean surround me like a waterfall And there′s no stopping us right now I feel so close to you right now
(dance beat plays)
And there′s no stopping us right now And there′s no stopping us right now And there′s no stopping us right now I feel so close to you right now...
