Too closely

If you were late I would wait
Wait all day right here
If no one were watching girl I guess I'd wait all year
Take my time, I will
Thinking I've been owed
I've got a funny feeling one more lost cause will exceed my load

Shrinking back your rear view road
Don't look too closely 'cause you don't want to see
How it shows when I know you're not wanting me

Tell them it wasn't hard
Tell them you beat me cold
If it ever helps you through just one day, let me know
And tell me that you told me so
Everyone gets tired of being out of reach
And you won't like missing someone you've despised
Everyone has gone, Matthew Mark and John

Oh girl but we sit here trading alibis
Don't look too closely 'cause you don't want to see
How it shows when I know you're not wanting me
Don't look too closely 'cause you don't want to know
How the world is changed when you let someone go
