Getting ice cream is supposed to be a good thing but every time I do I pass your street
I see if your cars in the driveway and if it's not my mind goes wandering
And I know I've told these stories a thousand times to my friends over the phone at late night
And they tell me how I can do better and I roll my eyes and write about it later cause
Once my mind is attached there's no going back or a least for a little while
Until I convince myself my friends were right but
You have to know you have this effect on people
When you look in their eyes it takes them by surprise how much you seem to care
You have to know that what your doing can be mind consuming
And keep me lying awake at night and dreaming about you being mine
Now I'm trying to burn the memories or any made up daydream that has you and me
The latter is a bad habit I've installed one that I'm trying to discard once and for all
'Cause I can get rid of the real you but what about the version that isn't true
That is now a character that resides but only in the boundaries of my mind
Once my mind is attached there's no going back or a least for a little while
Until I convince myself my friends were right but
You have to know you have this effect on people
When you look in their eyes it takes them by surprise how much you seem to care
You have to know that what your doing can be mind consuming
And keep me lying awake at night and dreaming about you being mine
Maybe the next time I won't care
Maybe next time ill be more prepared
Maybe next time things will go right
Maybe next time ill stay detached
Won't stay up all night thinking back on all the things I wish I had
Once my mind is attached there's no going back or a least for a little while
Until I convince myself my friends were right but
You have to know you have this effect on people
When you look in their eyes it takes them by surprise how much you seem to care
You have to know that what your doing can be mind consuming
And keep me lying awake at night and dreaming about you
Being mine
