Too Close to Home (For Comfort) Lyrics

Yes I'm phobic, neurotic and I can't turn away
This anxiety ravaging all through my day
I'm a wreck, yet I can't help
Confessing to him all my closest and dearest fears

There's no release, from these smoldering fires inside
No trees, no shelter and no place to hide
I am naked, unshielded, so
Open to all of that sweet pain you can bring over me

Play the play, don't ever turn away
Take your place on the stage
Play the play, you can't hedge the bets you place
There's no place to hide anyway

This interminal vermin is eating away
At my guts and my sanity every single day
Come close and come closer and
Show what you've got, if you're lucky you'll be where I'm not

You're a fresh breath of cool air, your hair is so wild
And you laugh like a fury and you smile like a child
Your infectious joy is leading me on
Ever closer to the day when I'll be gone

Play the play, don't ever turn away
Take your place on the stage
Play the play, you can't hedge the bets you place
There's no place to hide anyway

Out that door, on the dance floor, spinning and wise
Pour some more and you won't know but you'll feel nice
When the morning comes and the phone rips you up
You will find that the circle never stops

Play the play, don't ever turn away
Take your place on the stage
Play the play, you can't hedge the bets you place
There's no place to hide anyway
