I've heard so much about you
I've read so much about you
I've seen so much about you
Yet you still don't know me
This love is from a distance
across the courtyard
Please look at me for an instant
and fall for me hard
But I'm afraid you'll be like a Monet
and I just want to stay away
rather than endure heartbreak
It's for my sanity's sake
I don't know how much it can take
but I'll keep you on a pedestal
I think so highly of you
I dream nightly of you
I wonder so much about you
Yet I'm nothing to you
This is one-sided
because I'm divided
between going up to you
and running out of your view
'Cause I'm afraid you'll be like a Monet
and I just want to stay away
rather than endure heartbreak
It's for my sanity's sake
I don't know how much it can take
but I'll keep you on a pedestal
From this distance, I can keep you
I can keep you like I've made you
Ignoring the bad and creating the good
Let's not shatter the perfect picture
With you on the pedestal
I'm blinded of all else
It's safer with you up there
Don't have to risk the nightmares
This love is from a distance
across the courtyard
You'll stay on the pedestal
and I'll keep up my guard
