Lyrics

Bad Idea

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.

I'd like to tell you all my bad ideas

I hang them with the good to dilute the awful truth

I've been asleep for nearly fifteen years

All dreams I've never had outweigh the life I'm not yet living

I've felt along the walls of here and there

But nothing ever seemed quite right

So I kissed off into the night

There was a thought, there was a bleeding thread

But nothing ever lasts that long within the confines of my head

I'm here to tell I'm not okay

And all those things you can never say out loud

I want to tell you there was no one that I ever believed in more than you

I want to know if there was anyone you ever believed in more than me

I've terrorized the seas of way back when

This little heart of mine has drunk its weight in blood red wine

A little lost, a little out of time

But as the years begin to creep, I have to hope that I'll be fine

I'm here to tell I'm not okay

And all those things I could never say out loud

I want to tell you there was no one that I ever believed in more than you

I want to know if there was anyone you ever believed in more than me

I'm here to tell I'm not okay

And all those things I can never say out loud

I'm here to tell I'm not okay

And all those other things

I'd like to tell you all my bad ideas

I hang them with the good to dilute the awful truth

I want to tell you there was no one that I ever believed in more than you

I want to know if there was anyone you ever believed in more than me

I want to tell you there was no one that I ever believed in more than you

I want to know if there was anyone you ever believed in more than me
