i love (the idea of) you
Time passes far too quickly
I can't seem to catch my breath
And I want to know if you still know me
After all these years, so I wonder
Do you recognize the jacket
That I wore everyday?
Or maybe the songs I sang
Over and over
Car rides, but we were only thirteen
And dancing under the rain
But you're hours away
And I don't know how to
Ask you if you're willing to stay
And maybe it could turn out my way
While I'm wishing I could be this brave
But I know nothing of you
And you're just a stranger
I knew for years
I glanced at your way
And you can't seem to take a hint
When it comes to love
Do you take the risk
Or maybe talk to me without
The clock striking twelve
And nonsense messages every night
Can you just try to understand
What I'm saying?
I've tried, but you're so hard to please
Waiting on nothing
Time seems to freeze
What a fool I would be
If I just kept chasing
Love that could never be mine
And pretending everything's alright
While I'm wishing I could numb this pain
I still know nothing of you
And that I just love
I've kept a hold of what you've said to me
"Chasing this love wasn't meant for me"
Still I can never read your mind
Painted a picture to what I see
Gave too much and it'll never be
The story I've made up in my mind
I still know nothing of you
And that I just love the idea of you
I can't seem to catch my breath
And I want to know if you still know me
After all these years, so I wonder
Do you recognize the jacket
That I wore everyday?
Or maybe the songs I sang
Over and over
Car rides, but we were only thirteen
And dancing under the rain
But you're hours away
And I don't know how to
Ask you if you're willing to stay
And maybe it could turn out my way
While I'm wishing I could be this brave
But I know nothing of you
And you're just a stranger
I knew for years
I glanced at your way
And you can't seem to take a hint
When it comes to love
Do you take the risk
Or maybe talk to me without
The clock striking twelve
And nonsense messages every night
Can you just try to understand
What I'm saying?
I've tried, but you're so hard to please
Waiting on nothing
Time seems to freeze
What a fool I would be
If I just kept chasing
Love that could never be mine
And pretending everything's alright
While I'm wishing I could numb this pain
I still know nothing of you
And that I just love
I've kept a hold of what you've said to me
"Chasing this love wasn't meant for me"
Still I can never read your mind
Painted a picture to what I see
Gave too much and it'll never be
The story I've made up in my mind
I still know nothing of you
And that I just love the idea of you
