Arm’s Distance
Lyrics and music: Nicole Campbell

An arms distance, such a wondrous place
As you reach across me
and the scent of your hand touches my face
tied and twisted, such a beautiful mess
as I catch you staring at the little lines on the back of my dress
and you say…

Go away I can’t have you here
I’m already swallowing so much fear
Take a step back don’t come so near
But please please, don’t disappear.

Your gilded armor it’s worn a little too tight
It cuts your airways and before you know it
your heads in flight
Hesitation such a brilliant disguise
But not even you can hide
behind the truth that’s there in your eyes
And you say…

Go away I can’t have you here
I’m already swallowing so much fear
Take a step back don’t come so near
But please please, don’t disappear.

Go away I can’t have you here
I’m already swallowing so much fear
Take a step back don’t come so near
But please please, don’t disappear.
