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

alternate lyrics

I'm sitting here on my front step today
Waiting for you to walk by again
Point and laugh with your friends aside
At that man up there, you did
You look back after you roll by
Got me feeling like a kid
Got this playground in my head
But 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

Almost you got
Caught like a fish in my lip, no sir
I'm running scared, alone there
You got more in you than you say you got
I will run up and find it
Got it all playing around in my head
I'm not gonna kick you in your shin

[CHORUS]

As you roll by
You know that in an ancient day
The king well
Got the choice of
As many and whoever they wanted
But all I
Desire
Is standing before me
I had you and I wake up
And, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ah, ah, yeah, yeah
