Citizen Fish – Flinch lyrics

It's a fine line with drops on either side
Instant reactions: being undecided
Would lose a balance unrecognised
Don't leave me alone! Don't touch me!

Could just as love those he despised
Or vice-versa - a social supply
Of any extreme you could need to arrive
Of points unchartered part through fear
Don't touch me!
Part through reliance on getting this near
Don't leave me alone!

Having regular good times - good times - usually late - usually late
Passing through the uncertain state
Through the flinch reactive zone
Where no-one stands completely alone
Where togetherness tenses
Just like talking over fences
Just like talking over fences

Ignoring the barrier but keeping it there
In case the candle starts to flare
Too brightly for the eye to see
So much at once - O.K. hold it there
Don't leave me alone! Don't touch me!
Don't leave me alone! Don't touch me!
Don't leave me alone! Don't touch me!
