I took the long way home And I'm not sure why; I guess I don't know how to deal With all the things on my mind, Like how my coffee is black And that's how you like yours, How the sweetness of your voice Hits my ear and dissolves But you're a bad idea and I know it. You're a bad idea and I know it. Well, I will do it anyway; My heart won't listen to my brain. You're 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 hasn't been washed in a while And there's 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 I'll still smile when you fill our tank up But you're a bad idea and I know it. You're a bad idea and I know it. Well, I will do it anyway; My heart won't listen to my brain. You're 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. You're unpredictable But there's something about you I want to know. I want to know. You're a bad idea and I know it. You're a bad idea and I know. You're a bad idea and I know it [x3] And you do what you do because you feel like it.
