Bad Idea
Motion City Soundtrack Lyrics

I'd like to tell you all my bad ideas
I want to share with you all the foolish and misguided thoughts I have in my mind.

I hang them with the good to dilute the awful truth
I mix my bad thoughts with some good ones because I am afraid of facing the harsh reality alone.

I've been asleep for nearly fifteen years
I have been living life without really living it. I am just going through the motions without any real direction.

All dreams I've ever had outweigh the life I'm not yet living
The dreams and aspirations that I have are so grand and seem unattainable. They seem bigger than the life I am currently leading.

I've felt along the walls of here and there
I have been searching for my place in the world, trying to find where I belong.

But nothing ever seemed quite right
Despite my search, nothing has completely fulfilled me or met my expectations.

So I kissed off into the night
I have let go of my worries and fears and just let myself be swept away by the night and all its possibilities.

There was a thought, there was a bleeding thread
I have had some thoughts and ideas that have been nagging at me, slowly unraveling and causing me distress.

But nothing ever lasts that long within the confines of my head
My thoughts and ideas only seem to last for a short while in my mind before they fade away, never becoming anything more.

I'm here to tell I'm not okay
I need to confess that I am not doing well, even though I may seem fine on the surface.

And all those things you can never say out loud
I want to talk about those things that are too hard to say out loud, the things that I have been keeping inside.

I wanna tell you there was no one that I ever believed in more than you
I want to express how much faith and confidence I have in you, and how important you are to me.

I wanna know if there was anyone you ever believed in more than me
I am curious about whether or not you hold anyone else in higher esteem than me.

I've terrorized the seas of way back when
I have navigated through turbulent waters in my past and have caused some chaos and destruction along the way.

This little heart of mine has drunk its weight in blood red wine
I have drowned my sorrows and pains in copious amounts of alcohol, trying to numb the pain.

A little lost, a little out of time
I am feeling a bit adrift and disconnected from the current moment and reality.

But as the years begin to creep, I have to hope that I'll be fine
As time continues to move forward, I am hopeful that things will eventually get better and I will be okay.

And all those other things
There are many other things that I wish I could say out loud but cannot.
