The Idea of Me Lyrics by Aidan Canfield

We’re Young, Alright

2022

[Verse 1]
I cuff my jeans like I cuff my sleeves
And that's the most you'll ever understand about me
The things you're looking for are all the things I'll never be
And I can't play the part of someone else's identity
[Verse 2]
So listen to me girl, you're just wasting precious time
You were meant for more I can see it in your eyes
The more you put off leaving means the more you're telling lies
To me and yourself because you think you love what you despise
[Chorus]
You think you know me so well
Who gave you the lowdown?
'Cause I would never tell a stranger
Who I want to be
So go back to your home now
I think it's time I go now
'Cause I know on the inside
You don't like what you see
You just like the idea of me
[Verse 2]
Don't get me wrong, no I don't want to hurt you
I'm saving you from sharing all the things I've been through
Loving me is a rocky road you don't want to steer into
So don't turn the wheel just because I'm something new
[Chorus]
You think you know me so well
Who gave you the lowdown?
'Cause I would never tell a stranger
Who I want to be
So go back to your home now
I think it's time I go now
'Cause I know on the inside
You don't like what you see
You just like the idea of me
[Bridge]
I'm gonna leave your heavy-hearted, that's a damn guarantee
I'm leaving you now so you don't feel the sting
Of feeling all alone in a world that will bring
Your knees to the floor and a hand reaching for a drink
[Chorus]
You think you know me so well
Who gave you the lowdown?
'Cause I would never tell a stranger
Who I want to be
So go back to your home now
I think it's time I go now
'Cause I know on the inside
You don't like what you see
You just like the idea of me
Oh, the idea of me
[Outro]
I cuff my jeans like I cuff my sleeves
And that's the most you'll ever understand about me
