in and out my mind, girl you know I’m trying

oh I know…

(uh oh…)

in my apathy, when love feels out of reach

i find

that light moves past the ceiling

(i gotta get from under, I gotta get from under)

and days become so fleeting

(…show you that I love her, show you that I love her)

need something to believe in

(love, temptations lost it’s luster…temptations only burning through my time…)

something to never leave me

but I can feel it coming soon 

in and out my mind
happens all the time
where are you to run to?

calling out the room
bring me back to you
do you need a rewind?

maybe when its over…
i’ve said that before
maybe it’s exactly what i wanted, even more…when the love is over
and my hearts still in tact…you'll still be here questioning the things i said you lack!

what can I say?
(don’t speak until it's over)
leaving this way
(i am not afraid of losing you!)
love made me stay
(when did i become this loving sober?)
caught on your fray
(caught up in your mess, can't get from under)

in and out my mind (my mind!)
baby just in time (in time)
clearly who i run to (whooo I ruuun tooo)

holding onto love
lost it on the run
do we need a redo?

yeah i know it's over
suppose it could be nice
get a little high and baby do just how I like! when the night is over
and i am still in tact…you'll still be here lying, crying, tryna get me back

what can I say?
(don’t speak until it's over)
leaving this way
(i am not afraid of losing you)
love made me stay
(when did i become this loving sober?)
caught on your fray
caught up in your mess, can't get from under

listen baby, think you know…(i think that it, i think that it, i think that its time for you to go)
yeah it's bout that time to go
on your own…

what can I say?
(don’t speak until it's over)
leaving this way
(i am not afraid of losing you)
ooh lets not say
(like a secret agent undercover)
you made mistakes
(baby it's your mess, go find another)

i’m out of reach i’m somewhere
i can’t even describe the place
so lost in memory, i feel you
but i can’t recall your face

just like i pictured it, but not quite the same
i still miss you like desert misses the rain

i know, i know, to run
(to something better, babe keep it together)
but when the night comes, i get lost in the dark on the wall

i know, i know, you run
(i see you moving, babe you’re so elusive with it)
but when the night comes, you are mine and you’re here in my arms

i sat beneath a tree and i
pondered on my apathy
towards all the figs that
fell and came together at my feet

i wonder if i’ll ever let it all go
on the other side i’m still so unknown

i know, i know, to run
(to something better, babe keep it together)
but when the night comes, i get lost in the dark on the wall

i know, i know, you run
(i see you moving, babe you’re so elusive with it)
but when the night comes, you are mine and you’re here in my arms

been about it babe i don’t care about your feelings
i’m in a state of mind where your words will never reach me
every night i pray for his love to stay behind me
offered me the world but the cost was still too pricy

something better than the one i had before
i was looking for an answer when i came up to your door
you could tell that i was lonely, out here looking for a score
couldn't tell you where my mind was when my heart was on the floor

been about it babe i don’t care about your feelings
i’m in a state of mind where your words will never reach me
every night i pray for his love to stay behind me
offered me the world but the cost was still too pricy

lost inside my mind again, i ask myself another time oh baby who you running to?
here today and gone tomorrow, keep the joy and leave the sorrow, i know that's what you would do

see the thing about my baby is i love her to no end
but you know it stands to reason that you'll see me here again
even though i may be empty, know you'll always be a friend
shouldn’t have to be this broke to know some things will never mend

been about it babe i don’t care about your feelings
i’m in a state of mind where your words will never reach me
every night i pray for his love to stay behind me
offered me the world but the cost was still too pricy

cause i…

been about it babe i don’t care about your feelings
i’m in a state of mind where your words will never reach me
every night i pray for his love to stay behind me
offered me the world but the cost was still too pricy

lost inside my mind again, i ask myself another time oh baby who you running to?
here today and gone tomorrow, keep the joy and leave the sorrow, i know that's what you would do

baby, life under the moonlight
acting on an insight
feelings change on a dime
but i’m so full of riches
deep enough to swim in
bottom of the ocean
true love and devotion

what goes up, feel it low
thats the way love goes

iiiiiiiiii’m
higher than the ceiling, baby got me reeling
oooooo
something to believe in, when it comes to me i can't get down
(can't get down)

baby, i saw my whole lifetime
written in the skyline
something in my minds eye
tells me where i’m going
deeper so than knowing
caught up in the motion
but i don’t really care, i only know what i know

what goes up, feel it low
thats the way love goes

iiiiiiiiii’m
higher than the ceiling, baby got me reeling
oooooo
something to believe in, when it comes to me i can't get down
(can't get down)

(heyyy, only if it’s true I tell you i love you….*)
