Idea
Josh And Zac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seeing your face on replay
Like a movie in my mind's eye
Till barely even I see my real life
And all through the night time
Lie here and loop the last time
Thinking 'bout the night you stayed here
You left me helplessly high on you, dear
When you say you wonder
How I feel about you
You have no idea
How many times I think about you
How many nights I've been waiting to love you
How much I've come to need you
Come to need you have no idea
How many ways I dream about you
How many days I've been waiting to touch you
Now that I've come to know you
Come to know you have no idea
Why can't I hold you
Why can't I be the one who
Who you wake and do you lie with
Who you laugh and you dry your eyes with
The sun leads to sunburn
Love leads to when "Will I learn?"
Till every night is just a countdown
Of a love you're giving someone else now
And I'm shaking my head
When you say you don't know
If I really want you
You have no idea
How many times I think about you
How many nights I've been waiting to love you
How much I've come to need you
Come to need you have no idea
How many ways I dream about you
How many days I've been waiting to touch you
Now that I've come to know you
Come to know
Now you wanna know how I'm sure
That you are just who I'm looking for
And we should get together more
'Cause you still make me laugh out loud
When you say you wonder how I feel about you
You have no idea
How many times I think about you
How many nights I've been waiting to love you
How much I've come to need you
Come to need
You have no idea
How many times I think about you
How many nights I've been waiting to love you
How much I've come to need you
Come to need you have no idea
How many ways I dream about you
How many days I've been waiting to touch you
Now that I've come to need you
Come to need
Now that I've come to need you
You have no idea
You have no idea

Line by Line Meaning
All through the day I'm
From sunrise to sunset, my thoughts unknowingly ponder over you
Seeing your face on replay
My mind is repeatedly replaying an image of your face
Like a movie in my mind's eye
Your presence in my mind feels vivid and cinematic
Till barely even I see my real life
Your constant presence in my thoughts has become so overwhelming that it's hard to tell where my reality ends and my fantasy begins
And all through the night time
Even during the darkness of night
Lie here and loop the last time
I frequently lie awake repeating the memory of the last time we were together
Thinking 'bout the night you stayed here
My thoughts often drift to the night you were with me
You left me helplessly high on you, dear
You left me feeling elated and fixated on you, unable to control my emotions
Now you're making me laugh
Currently, you bring me joy and amusement
When you say you wonder
You ask me questions and express curiosity
How I feel about you
You want to know what emotions I have for you
You have no idea
You don't fully grasp the extent of
How many times I think about you
How often you cross my mind
How many nights I've been waiting to love you
How many nights I patiently wait to express my love to you
How much I've come to need you
How reliant I am on your presence and love
Come to need you have no idea
I've grown to need you, but you don't quite understand to what extent
How many ways I dream about you
All the different ways I envision being with you
How many days I've been waiting to touch you
How long I've been yearning to physically connect with you
Now that I've come to know you
Now that I've built a deeper connection with you
Why can't I hold you
I wish I could physically embrace you
Why can't I be the one who
Why can't I be the person
Who you wake and do you lie with
Who you wake up to and fall asleep with
Who you laugh and you dry your eyes with
Who you share joy and sadness with
The sun leads to sunburn
The sun has the ability to cause pain
Love leads to when "Will I learn?"
Love often ends in heartbreak, prompting one to question if they ever learn from their mistakes
Till every night is just a countdown
Until every night becomes a countdown to when I can be with you
Of a love you're giving someone else now
Of your affection that you're giving to someone else at present
And I'm shaking my head
I'm nodding my head in disagreement
When you say you don't know
I disagree with you when you say you're unsure
If I really want you
If I truly have strong feelings for you
Now you wanna know how I'm sure
You're interested in how I can confidently express my feelings
That you are just who I'm looking for
I've found the ideal partner in you
And we should get together more
We should plan on spending more time together
'Cause you still make me laugh out loud
Because you continue to bring immense joy and humor to my life
Now that I've come to need you
Now that I've come to depend on you
You have no idea
You don't fully realize or comprehend the depth of my emotions towards you
