Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a bad idea, me and you
I know, I totally agree
It's a bad idea, me and you
I've never known anything so true
It's a terrible idea, me and you
[Verse 2]
You have a wife
You have a husband
You're my doctor
You got a baby coming
It's a bad idea, me and you
Let's just keep kissing till we come to
[Chorus]
Heart, stop racing
Let's face it, making mistakes like this
Will make worse what was already pretty bad
Mind, stop running
It's time we just let this thing go
It was a pretty good bad idea
Wasn't it, though?
[Verse 3]
It's a bad idea, me and you
It's a bad idea, me and you
Hold me close, while I think this through
Yeah, it's a very poor idea, me and you
[Chorus]
Heart, stop racing
Let's face it, making mistakes like this
Will make worse what was already pretty bad
Mind, stop running
It's time we just let this thing go
It was a pretty good bad idea
Wasn't it, though?
[Bridge]
I know what's right for me
It's the only thing I've ever, I've never done
What if I never see myself ever be
Anything more than what I've already become?
[Bridge]
I need a bad idea
I need a bad idea
I need a bad idea
I need a bad idea
Just one
[Chorus]
Heart keep racing, let's make mistakes
Let us say, "So what?"
And make worse what was already pretty bad
This secret is safe, no reason to throw it away
When there's a love to be had
Hold me tight as I tell myself
That you might make sense
And make good what has been just so bad
Let's see this through
It's a pretty good bad idea
Me and you, me and you
