A song introduced as part of the band’s repertoire in 2006. A studio recording does not exist as of July 2016, but a live rendition first appeared on the sixth installment of the band’s Live Trax series.
[Verse 1]
I saw you walk, you know you say
Like a ghost you know to me, babe
Combat boots make you look slick
But oh no, I see you walk home from school
You got so lost on the way
You got me feeling like a kid
But this man is no kid, you know
So I'm not goin' 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 gettin' outta here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you
[Verse 2]
Aw, there you go again, I dont know
And I see you walk past with your friends
And I saw you laugh and whisper
I don't wanna talk, I want you here
But you turn back and smile at me
Oh, you got me feeling okay with that
So I'm not goin' 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 gettin' outta here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you
[Bridge]
Bus stop dreamer
The late night, you with me
There's something moving
You can't stop saying that you love me
You love me, you love me
Enough, enough, you make me shy
But baby, I wake up
[Chorus]
I saw you
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 gettin' outta here
I fall so hard inside the idea of you
Oh, it's so good, go on baby, say it
Yeah
We're laughin'
