There's an old photo of me
On my phone I look and she
Feels like home and I feel peace
Her eyes always knew
What I lost in the blue
I'd be back to find eventually
Took my time to figure out
What this life is all about
I wasn't patient, I wasn't cool
Tried to blame my stuff on you
I wasn't selfless and I wasn't kind
And I wondered how I lost my mind
Oh my mind
At a dinner out with dad
Fielding questions that he had
Instead of listening I got mad
But he always knew
Answers don't reveal the truth
Made me seek to understand
Took my time to figure out
What this life is all about
I wasn't patient, I wasn't cool
Tried to blame my stuff on you
I wasn't selfless and I wasn't kind
And I wondered how I lost my mind
Oh my mind
The more I thought my way through
The more I ended up confused
Oh when you've lost your mind
It can't help you find the truth
My brother graduates today
There's a lot I want to say
To a kid with the world on his plate
I wish he only knew
Comes to choices, you got two
Chase your soul or stay the same
Took my time to figure out
What this life is all about
I wasn't patient, I wasn't cool
Tried to blame my stuff on you
I wasn't selfless and I wasn't kind
And I wondered how I lost my mind
Oh my mind
