THE LYRICS:

Imagine sometimes that I hold you
Imagine your lips touching mine
I cast you in the role of someone makes me whole
My characters change all the time

You're someone I know
Someone I won't meet
You're across the room
Across the street
My perfect lover
My lucky star
The best way to love someone
Is from afar

Imagine this air is less chilly
Imagine us growing old
Six thousand layers of defenses
To protect ourselves from this cold

Faces are pretty
Handshakes are warm
Never admit it
Rejection is harm
Can't disappoint me
Can't lower the bar
The best way to love someone
Is from afar

(See it in faces...everyone's distant)
Stay far...
(See you my baby and you are smiling)
From afar...
(Dehumanizing my fantasizing)
Stay far...
(About you with your clothes on)

From afar...
From afar...
