I bet you're not as brilliant
As I've built you up to be
So I'd rather keep my distance
Than unravel this fantasy
Why waste my feelings on real interaction
'Cause I'm lucid dreaming whenever I pass ya
'Cause you're the perfect distraction
And I won't let you faze me
'Cause you, you, you're better as a daydream
Whoa you, you, you're better as a daydream
If seeing's believing, I'd rather be blind
'Cause chasing the real thing's a waste of my time
That's why you, you
You've probably got imperfections
If I were to see up close
But why pollute my perception
And put you under a microscope
Why waste my effort? I ain't got the patience
My love's like a desert and you're the oasis
You're just some concept I'm chasing
And I can't let you faze me
'Cause you, you, you're better as a daydream
Whoa you, you, you're better as a daydream
If seeing's believing, I'd rather be blind
'Cause chasing the real thing's a waste of my time
That's why you, you
You look best from miles away
I guess I'm afraid
A daydream will hurt me less
This is just self-defense
'Cause if I say hello
I'm terrified of what I could find
And I'd rather never know
I'd rather never know you, yeah
('Cause you, you, you're better as a daydream
Whoa you, you, you're better as a daydream)
I don't wanna know
If seeing's believing, I'd rather be blind
'Cause chasing the real thing's a waste of my time
That's why you, you
