This song idea came to me yesterday morning. Yeah, I've totally stolen it from The Police, but am taking it in a completely different direction. This is going to be about keeping emotional distance, and the reasons for it.
Yesterday's initial idea was about childhood trauma that we keep hidden, that keeps us from letting people get close enough to really know us. It isn't really autobiographical - I share most of my own pretty freely - but is why some people keep their distance. "Friends," who don't want to let you inside. Don't stand so close.
Another verse idea is about depression. Don't stand so close, you might get some on you. I might hurt you.
I suppose that there needs to be one about dislike. Umm . . . Don't stand so close. I'm not sure I can write that one, but maybe . . .
Mistrust? Yeah, I think maybe.
I think there will probably also be one about thoughts, feelings, or circumstances that might hurt someone if we shared them.
Don't stand so close.
