Idea of You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
