The Idea of Loving You

Liner Notes

Even more different from what I'm used to, this one is more of a ballad. I'm trying to use FAWM to step outside of my comfort zone, and so far the results have been pretty good! This one came a little late, but I hope I still make it to the 14 song goal lol

Lyrics

I built you for me, night by night
Dreamed up new features, 'til you're just right
You seemed so perfect, 'til morning came
And snuffed you out like a candle flame

You say you love me, and that's not fair
I want to love you, but you're not there
From dawn to dusk, there is too much space
When I close my eyes, I see your face

I try to get back to you some nights
Each time is cut short by sunlight
Something's not right, there's one thing wrong
Your love is too sweet, a siren's song
The feeling seems real, but it's not true
I love the idea of loving you

Now I lay me down to sleep
I ask the lord, if we could meet
And if you leave before I wake
I ask the lord, my pain to take
For I just cannot make it through
The rest of my life missing you
These feelings seem real, but they're not true
I love the idea of loving you

You're the princess in my love story
My only interest, the right one for me
But you're too perfect, you don't exist
It's only in my dreams we kiss

You'd be surprised at just how much time
Throughout the day that you're on my mind
The ideal person, you just make sense
Why should I settle for something less

I don't know, but the right choice seems
To be give you up and stop chasing dreams
I hate to say this, it hurts to try
But tonight's the night we say our goodbyes

I try to get back to you some nights
Each time is cut short by sunlight
Something's not right, there's one thing wrong
Your love is too sweet, a siren's song
The feeling seems real, but it's not true
I love the idea of loving you

Now I lay me down to sleep
I ask the lord, if we could meet
And if you leave before I wake
I ask the lord, my pain to take
For I just cannot make it through
The rest of my life missing you
These feelings seem real, but they're not true
I love the idea of loving you
