Better As a Daydream

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
