Distance

There's something about Christina Perri's songs that make me want to suddenly burst to tears. Her songs simply speak of sincerity from the heart and very raw emotions that's why it's not hard to relate with her. I remember I'm almost on the verge of tears while my lips ironically forms a small smile everytime I hear of Arms. Admittedly, the song still has the same effect on me till this day and I swear. 

With her latest single Distance featuring Jason Mraz, I can't help but feel melancholic as I listen to it over and over.  Hell yeah, I can totally relate with it....promising and heart-breaking at the same time. 

  

The sun is filling up the room, and I can hear you dreaming. 
Do you feel the way I do? Right now.
I wish we would just give up, 'cause the best part is falling.
Call it anything but love.
And I will make sure to keep my distance.
Say I love you when you're not listening. 
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/christina_perri/distance.html ]
Please don't stand so close to me; I'm having trouble breathing. 
I'm afraid of what you'll see right now.
I give you everything I am, all my broken heartbeats, until I know you'll understand.
And I will make sure to keep my distance.
Say I love you when you're not listening.
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

And I keep waiting for you to take me.
You keep waiting to save what we have.

So I'll make sure to keep my distance. 
Say I love you when you're not listening.
And how long can we keep this up, up, up?

Make sure to keep my distance.
Say I love you when you're not listening.
How long 'till we call this love, love, love?
