Inches Away - Mathai

Oh, it was especially hard

When you walked into my room

You put your coat on the hook

You said, «Babe, don’t make me leave»

But I stayed away, if only two inches away

Babe, you’re not welcome here

I thought you should know this

I was wondering if you would kindly leave

You came in with a song, but I will not sing along

Fairytale love is just not in my key

Two inches away, two inches away

Two inches away, two inches away

I, I stay two inches away

Two inches away, two inches away

Two inches away, two inches away

I, I stay two inches away

(Ooh, ooh)

Two inches away from bliss

Two inches away from that kiss

I know what my mama said

She said, «Wait for the one day»

So I stayed two inches away

Babe, you’re not welcome here

I thought you should know this

I was wondering if you would kindly leave

You came in with a song, but I will not sing along

Fairytale love is just not in my key

Two inches away, two inches away

Two inches away, two inches away

I, I stay two inches away

Two inches away, two inches away

Two inches away, two inches away

I, I stay inches away

As we reached that last day, I was hoping you’d stay

By the time I needed more, you had flown away

Two inches away, two inches away

Two inches away, two inches away

I, I stayed two inches away

Two inches away, two inches away

Two inches away, two inches away

I, I stayed inches away

Ooh, ooh

Ah, ah (ooh, ooh)
