Dave Matthews Band - Idea Of You Lyrics






I saw you walk
You know you say
Like a ghost you know to me babe
Combat boots make you look slick
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

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

Aw there you go again
Oh I don't know
And I see you walk past with your friends
Aw and I saw you laugh and whisper
And I'll talk I want you here
But you turn back and smile at me
Aw you got me feeling ok with that
So I'm not goin pull your hair

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

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

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, Yeah, Yeah

We're laughin

Dave Matthews Band Idea Of You Comments
  1. D.... ....

    The whole band reacts when Carter did what he did at 1:58 with the bass drum. Dave shakes his head too after that cool Tom thing shortly after. Carter is a beast!!

  2. B.... M....

    I love this song!

  3. G.... D....

    I wish they’d do a long long version like they do with Lie in Our Graves 😁

  4. S.... A....

    Never stop roaring Dave

  5. h.... ....

    This song is about a kid who has a crush on a girl. Dave really knows how to paint a picture. I know most people experienced that feeling when you know your crush is looking at you so you try to impress her.

  6. J.... E....

    August 2019 anyone?

  7. B.... G....

    Charlotte tomorrow night!

    I like how when dave needs adjustments to his IEM he points his guitar to his left and motions up with his eyes

  19. W.... P....

    Just a beautiful song and it's available on the new album "Come Tomorrow"

  20. A.... I....

    The violin adds such a nice subtle touch....miss that violin. 😞

    A.... I....

    Found about Boyd about a week or so ago. I'm beyond disappointed! He is going to be missed beyond believe! Such a talent!

    A.... I....

  29. B.... J....

    This is the most romantic song ever...

    B.... J....

    Bro it's so relatable. We all had crushes growing up in school then move away after school is over and think about that girl.

  30. Y.... K....

    And now this beautiful song gets an Album release!

  31. D.... ....

    “All grown up and moved away
    Dreams of circuses have been replaced
    I wonder what you’re doing today
    Or if you remember way back then
    You could smile and make a day
    You were kind to a little kid
    Maybe it sure was okay
    But all I did was pull your hair”

  32. C.... L....

    Oh crap I just realized I was at this concert!

    Oh now 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

    I fall so hard inside the idea of you
    That's why with you can't say what I mean
    Wanna to stay but I think I'm gettin outta here
    I fall so hard inside the idea of you

    Aw there you go again
    Oh I don't know
    And I see you walk past with your friends
    Aw and I saw you laugh and whisper
    And I I'll talk I want you here
    But you turn back and smile at me
    Aw you got me feeling ok with that
    So I'm not goin pull your hair

    I fall so hard inside the idea of you
    That's why with you can't say what I mean
    Wanna to stay but I think I'm gettin outta here
    I fall so hard inside the idea of you

    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

    I saw you

    I fall so hard inside the idea of you
    That's why with you can't say what I mean
    Wanna to stay but I think I'm gettin outta here
    I fall so hard inside the idea of you

    We're laughin

  35. J.... W....

    its amazing seeing him play this song live. It has to be one of the best songs DMB ever did.

  36. D.... T....

    best DMB song to not make an album?

    D.... T....

    Cornbread is definitely not on the new album

    D.... T....

    Dave Matthews Band Tutorials with Jake idea of you is on the new album

    D.... T....

    Oh yes
    I thought we were talking about cornbread

    D.... T....

    Shotgun

    D.... T....

    This one. ^ Right here

  37. F.... G....

    Look at 1:21 - is Dave signalling that the light above him is bothering him? Cause after that I noticed that yellow/bright light isn't shining in his face anymore.

    F.... G....

    Fokis Gaming signaling that the guitar gets turned up in his ears. He does it quite a bit throughout a show.

  38. N.... ....

    Best dave song ever

  39. R.... P....

    Amazing!!!

  40. m.... ....

    i love this song sooo much.

  41. h.... ....

    This song is so good. Hope we get to hear the studio treatment one day.

    h.... ....

    We are in june! :D

  42. b.... ....

    Whenever that little red guitar comes out, good things are about to happen.

    b.... ....

    true shit

    b.... ....

    Veillette Guitars Gryphon 12-String (soprano)

    b.... ....

    bigjoe686659 can you tell me what to expect when he grabs the little red guy ?

  43. M.... P....

    Got to see this from right in front of the soundboard...so good. PLEASE play this at Alpine!!!

    M.... P....

    Hey you got your wish lol

    M.... P....

    Yeah, I was wondering if someone saw it on here and mentioned it to Dave. Such a great set of shows...that Two Step was insane.

  44. F.... P....

    I was out in the lawn and went absolutely nuts when I heard this. I had a sign in the pit the first night asking him to play this, wonder if he saw? ;) came out of no where on this tour.

  45. M.... D....

    great version DMB!!!

  46. K.... D....

    Best DMB song of the last 10 years....never to Shotgun of course.

    K.... D....

    Both of course barely played and not on an album

    K.... D....

    They've been playing this often this year. We got it at Chula Vista.

    I was hoping for Break Free, but they saved that for Irvine (crying ;-;)

  47. W.... D....

    Great show. wish they would have shown the view of the skyline just to the right of the stage!

  48. C.... F....

    Perfection in every sense of the word

  49. J.... A....

    Can't wait to see DMB in Cali...Concert #9 finally getting close to double digits.

    J.... A....

    Joshua Alt where do you stand 2 years later my friend ??

  50. H.... R....

    God Damn this song is good.

    H.... R....

    I liked the original lyrics more but they kept the chorus so I am happy with it.

    H.... R....

    Damn right!

    H.... R....

    I don't think Dave really knows the words, he sings slightly different lyrics every time he plays this song. Honestly that's one of the reasons I like it so much...

  51. D.... R....

    Has anyone ever had any problems bringing cameras to the gorge?
