Comfort Lyrics by Michael Penn

Resigned

1997

And you want to impress
That you love me more or less
Which of us will be first
To get off
To get hurt

When you come too close for comfort
Come too close for comfort
Much too close for comfort
Too close for comfort

And on line
The acrobat
Who has got his act down pat
Balance rules of etiquette
Until you hang another net

If I get too close for comfort
Come too close for comfort
Much too close for comfort
Too close for comfort
Much too close for comfort

Who comes clean?
Who'll confess?
Who was my second guess?
All that's left you to address is
Will you love me more or less?

When I come too close for comfort
Come too close for comfort
Much too close for comfort
Too close for comfort
Much too close for comfort
