Look at me dreaming of you
All I could hope is to have you
To have you walking with me
Laughing so in love, we two
Almost drunkenly
I did imbibe of this
Fantasy of you and me
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?
I've grown tired of love
You are the trouble with me
I watch you walk right by
I smile, you do not notice me
Treat me recklessly
All you do is toss me pennies out
But the silence in me is screaming
Won't you come and get me?
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?
You make a mess of me here
I dance a thousand steps for you
If you say yes to me
I'll be whatever gets you through
You make a mess of me here (was I a fool?)
I dance a thousand steps for you (was I a fool?)
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think?
Am I a fool, am I a fool for you?
All I could hope is to have you
To have you walking with me
Laughing so in love, we two
Almost drunkenly
I did imbibe of this
Fantasy of you and me
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?
I've grown tired of love
You are the trouble with me
I watch you walk right by
I smile, you do not notice me
Treat me recklessly
All you do is toss me pennies out
But the silence in me is screaming
Won't you come and get me?
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?
Was I a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?
You make a mess of me here
I dance a thousand steps for you
If you say yes to me
I'll be whatever gets you through
You make a mess of me here (was I a fool?)
I dance a thousand steps for you (was I a fool?)
Was I a fool, was I a fool to think?
Am I a fool, am I a fool for you?

"The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick"
too perfect with what I'm thinking.
I was feeling down this past few days, because of that feeeling lingering on my entire body and mind, have no one to share it with, and that makes me awfully confused and disgustted.
But after having read the lyrics above, I am so happy now, at least I know, Im not the only one whose "Fool to Think"!
"That you would take me home
As if I was yours
Was I a fool to think at all?"
This basically sums up the whole situation. We got close, but he broke my heart. I seriously thought we could have something...but, anyway. the song rings true to how i am feeling now. Was i a fool to think i could have something with him?
"You make a mess of me here
I dance a thousand steps for you
If you say yes to me
I'll be whatever gets you through"
The worst part is, i want to still be that person for him. gah. I love DMB. This song helps me realize that im not the only one who has felt this way. Its amazing how songs can get you through tough situations. And DMB always seems to have the perfect song.
The meaning is fairly clear. A man fantasises about a woman who he likes and he thinks that she likes him too but doesn't know for certain and is afraid to take the plunge and ask. he suspects and later finds out it was all in his head (or was it..?)
Easily the best line in the song, 'Silence in my screaming won't you come and get me' a sentiment i can identify with extremely stongly.
Such a true song!
Good music too. the riff is similar to that of message in a bottle by the police. indeed it is the same riff in places but on diffecernt frets (same intervals though). It gives the song a very sting and the policey feel which is cool!
Lastly, THE EVERYDAY ALBUMN is not bad. Its killer and anyone who says it isn't obviously hasn't been listening.

Easily one of dave's best lyrics and one i can identify with so easily 'The silence in me screaming won't you come and get me!'
So true.
Good music too. The riff used is similar to that of message in a bottle by the police, (it uses the same intervals but starts a fret down). It gives the song a very POlicey stingy feel.
