Watching you come into view
Off in the distance where I want you to stay
Can't get you out of my mind
I'm tired of passing the time
I've got your picture and all I can do is try to look away
[Chorus:]
You're in my telescope
You don't wanna get too close
It's easy to stay where you feel safe
You circle around at night and shine like a satellite
It's easier when you're far away
You disappear in the crowd
I scream but don't make a sound
I never know when you might come back again
So close but don't let me in
You still get under my skin: and it's showing
And all I can do is try to look away
[Chorus:]
I'm a fool for every move
For coming back to you
I'm a fool afraid of love
You're in a telescope
You don't wanna get too close
It's easy to stay where you feel safe
[Chorus:]
Up here alone in this room Watching you come into view Off in the distance where I want you to stay Can't get you out of my mind I'm tired of passing the time I've got your picture and all I can do is try to look away [Chorus:] You're in my telescope You don't wanna get too close It's easy to stay where you feel safe You circle around at night and shine like a satellite It's easier when you're far away You disappear in the crowd I scream but don't make a sound I never know when you might come back again So close but don't let me in You still get under my skin: and it's showing And all I can do is try to look away [Chorus:] I'm a fool for every move For coming back to you I'm a fool afraid of love You're in a telescope You don't wanna get too close It's easy to stay where you feel safe [Chorus:] Explain Request ×
