Bright Idea Lyrics

Did somebody tell you what I couldn't tell you?
I hope they did.
(I hope they didn't.)

Will I learn to regret it, or should I forget it?
Whatever this is- it feels electric.

You shot me a sweet look,
Gave me your Year Book,
Told me to sign...
It was a signal.

But I couldn't find the words.
I just couldn't find the nerve.
As usual.

Here's my Bright Idea:
I'll just disappear !

Now you're in Hollywood (right in my neighborhood)-
Things are really looking up for you...
An army of managers and lots of pretty boys lining up
just to meet with you.

I could've SWORN that it you that I bumped to just the other day
at the record store.

But I still don't have a clue.
I just couldn't talk to you.
As usual.

Here's my Bright Idea:
I'll just disappear !

So I come to your Event
in my well-rehearsed mystique,
I show up an hour late-
but I've been ready for a week,
Then you float into the hallway
like some neon silhouette,
I'm slowly losing oxygen
and my hands are soaking wet,
All the cameras and reporters
piling up on one another
just to get a look at you,
They all want an interview,
Then I make my move,
push them out of my way,
But I still just don't know what to say...

Here's my Bright Idea:
I'll just disappear !

well its obvious to me.. a girl who he had a major crush on in high school and he could never find the words to tell her, then he meets her again when hes all rich and famous but he still feels like he was a teen.

I love it but I still think No Tomorrow is better.

i luv this Band. Orson are the best new thing in music. I love the fact that it repeats the best bit over and over. This song is prob about a guy that uses David Blain style magic tricks to impress th ladies!!!!!! Rock on Orsom.

WHo cares wot it means this is the worst song I have heard for ages. Its tedious and repetative. I can't believe it took five of these apes to write it. "Hey I've got a good idea, at the end we cud repeat the chorus till ppl puke on their TVs." Good one. Check out a proper band, like Eels.
