Description
This song is about the idealistic and most often unrealistic character you can apply to people you've never met. The singer talks about seeing a girl from a distance and creating in his mind a perfect situation/relationship with this girl. He realizes that it's highly unlikely she'll live up to his unrealistic expectations, so he decides to stay away from her so he can live in his fantasy.
Lyrics
You don’t know me But I’ve seen you before In my dreams, we’re together. And I need nothing more than that To stay the way it is You can’t be as great as I imagine Please, stay away. Don’t wake me from the dream I’m in. Chorus: If it’s alright with you, I think I’ll stay alone. Until this heartache has Completely run it’s course If it’s okay, I think I’ll leave you with the stars I’d rather love you from afar. Why waste my time Getting to know the real you? Because in my mind, there’s no difference Between fantasy and real Real life is so much harder Than just making it up. I can’t be bothered with “I love you”, “Romantic” stuff, so Chorus: If it’s alright with you, I think I’ll stay alone. Until this heartache has Completely run it’s course If it’s okay, I think I’ll leave you with the stars I’d rather love you from afar.
