[Chrous: Anthony Green]
Please keep your distance from me I know its hard to believe
I never wanted to be your only love
I know the sting of plight hurts, it only makes matters worse
I never said I would be your only love

[Verse 1: Nate Ruess]
Old ships, battle skies, silhouettes of skeletons
News on once the clouds are gone
These are things that I ignite
Old news heaven sent if heaven wasn't what it is
If all the stars fell from the storm
Then this is what I've become
I need a new relief
Dressed as a new belief and then
I can try to be anything or anyone other than who I was
We never hear the dawn, it wake your roommate up
So I'm between the sheets wishing for anyone other than us

[Chorus: Anthony Green]
Please keep your distance from me I know its hard to believe
I never wanted to be your only love
I know the sting of plight hurts, it only makes matters worse
I never said I would be your only love

[Verse 2: Nate Ruess]
Long locks, fuzzy dice, summer in the dead of night
Some would say I had to go
And these were things we never was
Long cries, no response, silhouettes from all my bones
Still we get our heads on wrong
Cause these are things we never was
I need a new relief
Disguised as new belief and then
I can try to be anything or anyone other than who I was
And I will let you sing between your mothers sheets
And I will slip through the crack of the records that stack your bedroom wall
Oh
[Chorus: Anthony Green]
Please keep your distance from me I know its hard to believe
I never wanted to be your only love
I know the sting of plight hurts, it only makes matters worse
I never said I would be your only love

We need no proper ending, that would mean this meant something
We need no proper ending, that would mean this meant something
We need no proper ending, that would mean this meant something
