Idea of You


main lyrics

After school, sitting on my front step
I remember waiting for you to walk past
you're just a dream to a little kid
but I catch up to you one day
and we laugh how things have changed
you never dreamed we'd end up this way, oh
but I dreamed about it every day
and I'm not gonna pull your hair

[CHORUS]
I fall so hard inside the idea of you
that's why with you, can't say what I mean
wanna stay, but I think I'm getting out of here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you


And I stumble, fall in
front of you and all your friends
you pick me up and brush me off again
but I wanna disappear
one day when you fall for me, babe
and I remember this day
I won't brush you off, baby
and I'm not gonna kick you in your shin

[CHORUS]

Well, maybe
well, one day
I'll be your king 'cause you'll be my queen
the back seat
of a parked car
the stars and moon the only witness
I'm dreaming
I know that
but I feel it as real as laughing
I wake up
when I wake up
you're gone, gone, gone, yeah

I'm gone, gone, gone, yeah

[CHORUS]

I stumble, fall in
front of you and all your cool friends
you pick me up, and you brush me off, I grin
oh, but I wanna disappear
one day, you will fall for me, and then
I'll remember this day
but I won't brush you off, baby
and I'm not gonna pull your hair

The Molson Amphitheatre
Toronto, ON, CAN


alternate lyrics

I saw love sitting on my front stair
waiting for you to come back
hoping you walk past my house again
on your way back from there
school or something so wait awhile
but you make me feel like a kid
and I'm not a kid, so there
I'm not gonna pull your hair

[CHORUS]
I fall so hard inside the idea of you
it's why with you can't say what I mean
wanna stay but I think I'm getting out of here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you


Got me stumbling on my words
and all I have to do is say hello to a friend
but you got me all out of sort
if you knew what I was thinking babe
you'd wash out the inside of my head
but I'm not gonna give it away
I'm gonna buy some fun again

[CHORUS]

Hoping maybe
things change, the world will go
upside if I was the last man on the planet
do you think you'd look at me oh
maybe, maybe I said
nothing about it, boy
I saw it's really good
yeah yeah yeah

[CHORUS]
