I could barely talk the first time I saw you
Staring at the ground at my brand new ugly shoes
Wonder where they'll take me, I hope it's to you
I'm in love with the idea of you
I'm in love with the idea of you
I'm so in love with the idea of you
I'm in love with the idea of you
Last night I had a dream
That God came down and spoke to me
He asked which one am I to you
How do you know the truth
And I said
I don't know
That's a question for another time
And I'm too slow to catch up on the evening news
I'm in love with the idea of you
I'm in love with the idea of you
I'm so in love with the idea of you
I'm in love with the idea of you
All my lesbian friends, are trying to sleep with you
Talking politics to the walls in my bedroom
They say 'Who are we?' We tell 'em, we are the people
Grow a mohawk, assassinate the senator it's just another necessary evil
There is no escape, I am God's lonely man
But I'm not coming of age, so keep looking homeward, angel
I'm in love with the idea of you
I'm in love with the idea of you
I'm so in love with the idea of you
I'm in love with the idea of you
Your yellow dress, standing in a creek
Our friends all around us, just a bunch of freaks
My floods keep my dry, from your grasp and from the water
Someday we all die, so if you have the chance you better love me
I'm in love with the idea of you
I'm in love with the idea of you
I'm so in love with the idea of you
I'm in love with the idea of you
