   I'm sitting here on my front step again
   Baby, you to walk past with your friends
   Look at me, you laugh, I grin
   Oh you caught me whisperin'
   Pointing at that funny boy sitting on his stair
   Oh one day I'll change
   No babe, it's gonna be the same
   And I'm not gonna 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' out of here
   I fall so hard inside the idea of you

   I stumble fallin', in front of your cool friends
   You pick me up, you brush me off, I grin
   But I just wanna disappear
   One day when you fall for me babe
   And I know it's gonna come then
   And I'm not gonna brush you off there now
   And I'm not gonna kick you in your shin

   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' out of here
   I fall so hard inside the idea of you

   (I) Hope that
   The bus stop
   Would you pick me up
   On my way home by
   And we lived up
   And you're smilin'
   And you're tuneful bid is
   Just to see me
   You have no idea at all
   How much my heart fills
   When you look my way now
   But the day ends
   And you're gone, gone, gone
   Yeah, yeah, yea, yea

   Oh, oh, yeah, yeah

   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' out of here
   I fall so hard inside the idea of you

   I tumble, fallin' in front of your cool friends
   You pick me up, you brush me off, I grin
   And you know I wanna disappear
   One day you're gonna fall for me babe
   And when it comes, and I swear it will
   I'm not gonna brush you off yea, no way
   And I'm not gonna pull your hair

   I mean…did I do that good of a job that no one is going to argue it…I'm almost flattered

   Instead of "tuneful bid," i believe it is "too cool there." =)

   Now that one I will argue…there's no way he's saying that

   What is a tuneful bid? I'm taking stabs in the dark, I suppose, since I can't hear it right now…..I'll listen to it again in a bit and get back to you….. Thanks for transcribing this, by the way =)

   Oops- I meant "too cool, that is." not "too cool there."

   I mean…a tuneful bid? Well a tune would be any form of melody…which is what singing is…given that this is a song..I'd say it's tuneful. A tuneful bid..would be a song hoping to draw attention. I mean what's it matter, he improvs lyrics every show on this song. He doesn't write while on tour, hense all the descrepencies between shows.

   What's it matter? It doesn't, I suppose, except to people that post here…..(you and I). You sort of asked if anyone heard anything different =( I know he improvs the lyrics, which is what makes this site fun to come to. That is why it matters, I guess. The fun in it is figuring out what the heck he is saying. Most of us who post here are interested in the lyrics and what they mean. The "too cool" thing goes along with falling in front of the girl and all her cool friends…..ya know?

   be that as it may….it's still tuneful bid

    I hear "tuneful bid" - it means she doesn't care what songs he plays… she's just happy to see him.

    Dorothy the voice of reason hehe
