After school, sittin' on my front step

I remember waitin' for you to walk past

You're just a dream to a little kid

But I'll catch up to you one day

And we'll laugh how things have changed

You never dreamed we'd end up like this, oh

But I dreamed about it every day

And I'm not gonna pull your hair

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 gettin' outta here

I fall so hard inside the idea of you

And I stumble fallin'

In front of you and all your friends

You pick me up and brush me off, ok

But I wanna disappear

But 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

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 gettin' outta here

I fall so hard inside the idea of you

Well maybe, well one day

I'll be your king

'Cause you'll be my queen

The back seat of a parked car

Just stars and movie

You're only with me

Yes, I'm dreamin'

I know that

But I feel it

As real as like

When I wake up

When I wake up

You're gone, gone, gone

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh yeah, yeah

Oh I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone

Yeah, yeah, yeah

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 gettin outta here

I fall so hard inside the idea of you

Oh it's so good, go on baby say it

I'll stumble fallin'

In front of you and all your cool friends

You pick me up and you brush me off

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
