Idea of you in Theory

[Verse 1] Wire my mouth shut with copper

My lungs are breathing in your loose connection

Every time you look my way

You blow a fuse in my cold head

And leave me shaking on the lawn

[Pre-Chorus] But I stay

I wait

I pray for the jumpstart

[Chorus] I love the idea of you in my head

The math adds up inside my notebook

But I hate the physical weight

The sinking feeling in my stomach

I hate the way you make me feel

I love you in theory

I love you in theory

(Ooh ooh)

[Verse 2] Live wires snap

They sting my skin with bright blue jagged patterns

Total electric surge

The humming is becoming my own anthem

Turning into your static frequency

Even though it is mostly noise

[Pre-Chorus] But I stay

I wait

I pray for the jumpstart

[Chorus] I love the idea of you in my head

The math adds up inside my notebook

But I hate the physical weight

The sinking feeling in my stomach

I hate the way you make me feel

I love you in theory

I love you in theory

(Ooh ooh)

[Bridge] Maybe if I stood back further

Maybe if the air was dry

Maybe I would stop this burning

I want the light but not the fire

I want the spark but not the wire

[Chorus] I love the idea of you in my head

The math adds up inside my notebook

But I hate the physical weight

The sinking feeling in my stomach

I hate the way you make me feel

I love you in theory

I love you in theory

(Ooh ooh)

[Post-Chorus] Static in the station

Losing information

Yeah I love you in theory

Yeah I love you in theory
