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]
