The Idea Of You

I built you in my mind, piece by piece
A perfect picture of who I thought you'd be
Every glance, every touch, feels so real, so real, just like a fever dream

And it feels like if I get any closer
Then I might stay here forever
But I try not to forget, that it's all in my head

It's the story I imagine, the part
You play
A wall of clouds, where you stand so tall
But you're not real, you're not there at all
I'm chasing a shadow, a dream I drew
Falling in love with the idea of you, of you, of you, of you
Falling in love with the idea of you, of you, of you, of you
Falling in love with the idea of you

It's bittersweet, this world l've made
A beautiful lie where I feel safe
But someday I'll wake and leave it
I'll stop loving a love I'll never know

And it feels like if I get any closer
Then I might stay here forever
But I try not to forget, that it's all in my head

It's the story I imagine, the part
You play
A wall of clouds, where you stand so tall
But you're not real, you're not there at all
I'm chasing a shadow, a dream I drew
Falling in love with the idea of you, of you, of you, of you
Falling in love with the idea of you, of you, of you, of you
Falling in love with the idea of you
