## Lyrics
[verse]
Chalk dust hanging in the afternoon
Eyes that linger just a moment too soon
She's got questions she should not ask
Hiding feelings behind a mask

[verse]
Every lesson turns into a maze
Underneath his careful gaze
Something building, something wrong
A tension singing like a song

[chorus]
Don't stand so close, don't stand so near
Whispered warning, whispered fear
The line is thin, the line is real
Careful now with how you feel

[verse]
Books are closed, the bell has rung
But the silence stays unstrung
Two worlds colliding out of place
Trouble written on his face

[chorus]
Don't stand so close, don't stand so near
Whispered warning, whispered fear
The line is thin, the line is real
Careful now with how you feel

[bridge]
Some things are better left alone
Some doors are better left unknown
Walk away before it starts
Save yourself, protect your hearts

[chorus]
Don't stand so close, don't stand so near
Whispered warning, whispered fear
The line is thin, the line is real
Careful now with how you feel
