5/18/2016 alternate lyrics

Sitting on my front step again
waiting for you to walk by with your friends
maybe you notice this little kid
he likes the way you smile at him
some day when you fall for me girl
leaving flowers on your combat boots
no I'm not gonna walk away you know
and I'm not gonna pull your hair

You 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 outta here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you

I stumble, fall in
front of you and all your cool friend
you pick me up you brush me off I grin
but all I wanna do is disappear
one day when you fall for me girl
and I know that day's gonna come
you know I'm not going to brush you off no no
and I'm not gonna kick you in your shins

I fall so hard inside the idea of you
that's why with you I can't say what I mean
wanna stay but I think I'm getting outta here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you

Bus stop
sleeping
I'm dreaming
I'm all about you
you see me
you laughing
and you notice
that it's all about me
you dancing
singing
that's too good
you're too much for me
oh-ho
and I wake up
you're gone gone gone gone yeah yeah yeah

gone gone gone yeah yeah yeah
I fall
I fall
I fall, inside, inside the idea of you
that's why with you I can't say what I mean
wanna stay but I think I'm getting outta here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you

all grown up a new man
and you know that I dream lifted
a place too big that I wandered in
or if you remember me in anyway
you know you smile you can make my day
how you did for that little kid
then surely we saw an old kid but then
I'm not going kick you in your shin
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
