I've freed my mind
At least a hundred times
Searching for some way just to toe the line
And I wanna be a better man
But you're pulling me down with those golden hands
Cause I've been smoking cigarettes
On patios far away from my friends
Lost somewhere
Between my eyes
Thinking about the girl that I left behind
So before you leave
Say to me
Something to keep my mind
From drifting away off to sea
Oh every time that I free my mind
I leave the world for a little while
And when I return to see that nothing's changed
I seem to fall right back in place
Because I've seen so many different types of pain
Watching the world sit and wait for rain
The fire below
Licks at my feet
And tries to get me moving but I stay asleep
Cause I've been smoking cigarettes
On patios far away from my friends
On patios far away from my friends
Lost somewhere
Between my eyes
Thinking about the girl that I left behind
So before you leave
Say to me
Something to keep my mind
From drifting away off to sea
Ooh
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah before you leave
Say to me
Something to keep my mind
From drifting away off to sea
