about

About the nature of obsession.

lyrics

1) I know it’s time to choose between my mind and you.
To toss a coin out of my hand, and see which side it’s going to land,
But it’s all that I can do to even think straight.

2) All the things you do to me, can’t be dismissed casually,
Even though I don’t know what to do about it.

Chorus
Through all the highs and lows I’ve had to keep my eyes on you,
And all those changing moods can only be put down to you.

3) The day has got to come when I am left with no one,
Because everyone will leave, all because of you and me
But the truth is I don’t want to let you go at all.
Outro
You set the mood, you set the scene, take me places I’ve never been.
Promise the earth, shine like the sun, show me worlds that I’ve never known.
I reach for the sky and can’t touch the clouds, screaming in silence but sounding so loud.
I ask for tomorrow you give me today, never expect me to complete all the journey.
Open my mind while closing my eyes, blind me from what I should realize.
Offer me hope but give me despair, treat me like everyone knows this is nowhere.
