I took the long way home
And Iâm not sure why;
I guess I donât know how to deal
With all the things on my mind,
Like how my coffee is black
And thatâs how you like yours,
How the sweetness of your voice
Hits my ear and dissolves
But youâre a bad idea and I know it.
Youâre a bad idea and I know it.
Well, I will do it anyway;
My heart wonât listen to my brain.
Youâre a bad idea and I know
I want to be a little reckless with you,
Pick a penny up on the unlucky side,
Trace a curse word into the back of a car
That hasnât been washed in a while
And thereâs worn off paint where the rust shows through
The same things I see in me and you
Like how the concrete sprouts blades of grass
And Iâll still smile when you fill our tank up
But youâre a bad idea and I know it.
Youâre a bad idea and I know it.
Well, I will do it anyway;
My heart wonât listen to my brain.
Youâre a bad idea and I know it.
You know the best ways to disappear
And you do what you do because you feel like it.
Youâre unpredictable
But thereâs something about you I want to know.
I want to know.
Youâre a bad idea and I know it.
Youâre a bad idea and I know.
Youâre a bad idea and I know it [x3]
And you do what you do because you feel like it.
