Covers on, too hot
Windows open, too cold
Volume a notch up, too loud
One down, too down
So then a middle ground-
Stick out a leg
Open the window just a crack
Muster up all your willpower, you lazy
and slide that volume bar to the middle ground
Too honest, too brutal
Too fake, too disgusting
Too close, too painful
Too distant, too lonely
So then an arm’s distance-
Stick out an arm
Keep an arm’s distance
and the damage is only that arm’s distance
Just an arm’s distance-
What I use to keep myself from getting hurt
