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 on my front step again
waiting for you to walk past with your friends
smiling and look at that little kid
and watching him, picking off that paint
thinking about you has brought out in me
waiting for you to ride by there
you look back and smile at me again
I know I fall away here

[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 stumble falling
front of you and all your cool friends
you pick me up you brush me off I grin
but I just wanna disappear
one day you're gonna fall for me babe
and I know when that day comes
that I'm not gonna brush you off then
and I'm not gonna kick you in your shins

[CHORUS]

older, lover
you were loved too
not enough
is how it
feels to
be in love when I'm older colder
lonely
the way that
when you told me
like a river gone
smaller
but I woke up
and you're gone gone gone

[CHORUS]

I stumble, fall in
front of you and all your cool friends
you pick me up you dust me off I grin
but you know I just wanna disappear
but one day you're gonna fall for me babe
and I know when that day is close
I'm not gonna brush you off no way
and I'm not gonna pull your hair
