	Story Behind the Song I think this is a song most people can relate to, as we've all been attracted to someone who belonged to another. In this song's case, it's from the point of view of a woman who loves a married man. While the main character is not necessarily engaging in an affair with him, the lyrics chronicle her inner conflict and guilt, ultimately conveying words to discourage her pursuit of him. Lyrics I drove the circumference of the city To calm down and to shake off this feeling You're wiser and your life's complete I'd serve no purpose give you nothing Even though I'm ignorant of your touch It's easier than the hurt I'd have to manage And though I'll never carry your baby I'll never have to carry your baggage And I practice our kisses in my head I try not to make it too obvious 'Cause I know that you are a taken man I try not to act disappointed And don't you dare try to love me one day I'd have to take you off your pedestal and say I just can't love a man who lacks loyalty It's a part of you I just don't want to see Even if you were free I'd lose 'Cause there's no way I'd be the one that you choose See, it's better to love you from afar Than from up close and be left with the scars And I know all our hellos are goodbyes I keep my infatuation disguised 'Cause I know there's no way you can be mine When I see you I'm borrowing her time I drove the circumference of the city One of these houses is your family's I hope she's great at keeping you happy If not it's a waste she's keeping you from me And I know all our hellos are goodbyes I keep my infatuation disguised 'Cause I know there's no way you can be mine When I see you I'm borrowing her time And I practice our kisses in my head I try not to make it too obvious 'Cause I know that you are a taken man I try not to act disappointed
