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

Tweeter Center at the Waterfront
Camden, NJ


alternate lyrics

sitting on my front step again
I'm waiting for you there
when you walk past me again girl
and I smile even if I don't care
I know so what's up in there
you got me feeling like a kid
but you know I'm no child anymore babe
so 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


I call up you
try to make you feel at home
you just think I'm crazy standing up there
I'm looking at you so hard
I 'm glad you can't read what inside my head
you'd run straight and away
'cause I'm no danger my friend
and I'm not gonna pull your hair

[CHORUS]

bus stop crazy
watch you
say you don't know me
daughter
king and queen of
you and me could be
but no this not today
no time without my baby
watch me
falling
up there there yeah yeah

[CHORUS]
