lyrics

Sweet talking my way thru another funny day
I’m not here in the first place
I’ve been replaced
Haven’t quite met this new self of mine

Tell me it’ll all be fine
Tell me I don’t need to say the lines

I’m fine getting stoned alone
With all of this time
Maybe I’ll finally be mine

Dressing myself for the day
Like I’m on my way to the grand parade
I catch my eye in the mirror
And smile back at myself

Opened up some boxes that are filled
With pieces of me
All of those years trying to squeeze
Into boxes that didn’t fit all of me

I realise what it all means
When I’m looking into mother's eyes
I’m looking into mother’s eyes

Cause I’m sitting in the corner of my mind
I don’t mean to sit here so much of the time
Tears rolling I’m shaking but I’m fine
I’ll be running into you all the time

I want you but I don’t want you to be mine
I want you but I don’t want you to be mine
Feels like the paradox of my life
Feels like I’ll get there one step at a time

We’ve been balancing on the finest line
Loving you’s the cure and the crime
Loving you’s the cure and the crime

The words are there they’re knocking at our teeth
I’m feeling bare and hot head to feet
I’ve got nowhere to go and no one to meet
I see it now I see my heart beat
I see it now I see what I need
To be sitting in the corner of my mind
To be sitting in the corner of my mind
Sitting in the corner of my mind
Sitting in the corner of my mind
Sitting in the corner of my mind
Sitting in the corner of my mind
Sitting in the corner of my mind
