[English]

I plugged my phone into the wall, next to the bathtub, water cold

I didn't notice 'cause you got in my head-

'Ed on the freeway in the night, I'm going 80, no headlights

I'm losing focus, thinking 'bout the

Night that you cracked me, like an egg in the backseat

Better call me a taxi (you're so stupid, just standing with a cigarette)

And your necklace makes me forget my checklist

You will everything I won't, now I like the smell of smoke but

I think you're a bad idea, you're a bad idea, you're a bad idea

I think you're a bad idea, I can't believe how far I fell

I think you're a bad idea, you're a bad idea, we're a bad idea

I think you're a bad idea, but what the hell?

...

...

Black and green t-shirts in the wash

I shrunk your jeans, the water's hot

You're so distracting, but I'm not upset

I wasn't perfect, I was fine, now I can't do a thing right

You're how I'm acting, I just can't forget the

Night that you cracked me like an egg in the backseat

Better call me a taxi (you're so stupid, just standing with a cigarette)

And your necklace makes me forget my checklist

You will everything I won't, now I like the smell of smoke but

I think you're a bad idea, you're a bad idea, you're a bad idea

I think you're a bad idea, I can't believe how far I fell

I think you're a bad idea, you're a bad idea, we're a bad idea

I think you're a bad idea, but what the hell?

I know they say love can be blinding

No one said you get absent minded

I resisted, look what the time did

Going crazy and you're invited

I think you're a bad idea, you're a bad idea, you're a bad idea

I think you're a bad idea, I can't believe how far I fell

I know you're a bad idea, you're a bad idea, we're a bad idea

I know we're a bad idea, but what the hell?
