You get undone by proximity too many times
You stop wanting to get too close
So it's all fun what you're sending me so many nights
Risk flickering into ghost
But all of those friends that you made back at home
Have got nothing in common with you
When you get the choice you make better ones all on your own
Share more than a middle school
There's nothing you can do from a thousand miles away
That someone closer can't do just as well as you
There's nothing you can do to beat proximity
The bitter sweet loves that you had to water down
Are still potent when you drink
And if you taste, what it leaves in your mouth
Is stronger than you think
And though you claim your status never changed
You both know how far you were away
And there's nothing you can't do from a half a foot away
That someone further doesn't wish they had the chance to
And there's nothing you can do that beats proximity
