STATE OF MIND
LETTERS
Tell me, what are your real intentions ‘cause I don’t know why
Why you act like this
Drives me crazy ‘cause I can't decide
If you’re the devil or angel, don’t like your disguise
One minute, you’re unbearable, the next one, you’re fine
But my heart’s screaming out
And you don’t know how I despise you
But I like you
(Yeah)
Is it wrong to get paralyzed when I see your eyes?
I’m daydreaming again
Why can’t you get off of my mind? (No)
Boy, you got me in circles, don’t know where we stand
I’m scared of falling and slipping again
Yes, my heart’s screaming out
And you don’t know how I despise you
But I like you
You, you, (la da da) ooh
It’s you
Yes, it’s you
Yes, it’s you
Gotta stop myself from falling
Gotta keep myself from falling
And this is not as easy as it seems
Oh, it seems, oh, it seems, oh, it seems
Oh, it’s true
Yeah, it’s true
All these feelings are making me lose my mind
So conflicted, I can’t decide what is right, oh what’s right
Now tell me have you ever felt the same way
‘Cause you left me wondering if this was fake
Yes, my heart’s screaming out
And I don’t know if I can
Find you
Someone like you
CITY SKIES
So enticing
With the wind against my hair
I refuse to get up and go
Illumination
Of the shadows of the night
(Oh)
I can’t help but think
If you were with me
I’d keep you by my side
In the city lights
But all I can do
Is dream that you are here with me
Oh, there’s no way I can erase you from my mind
I need you here among the city skies
Oh, you’re the air I need when these buildings hit the ground
(No, no, no, no)
I’m not erasing you
So inviting
With a coffee at my hands
The conversations come and they go
Worries fading
Slipping out of every bone
(Oh)
In all that I see
It leads me back to you
Can’t get you off my mind
In this sea of eyes
But all I can do
Is dream that you are here with me
Oh, there’s no way I can erase you from my mind
I need you here among the city skies
Oh, you’re the air I need when these buildings hit the ground
(No, no, no, no)
And I await you
Every day and night, all the time, I can’t deny
I should let go
But I can’t control
The way I feel inside
(No, no, no)
Oh, there’s no way I can erase you from my mind (My mind)
I need you here among the city skies (Here among the city skies)
Oh, you’re the air I need when these buildings hit the ground
(No, no, no, no)
(I need you by my side)
LOVE VS. LOGIC
Lately I’ve been so lonely
It’s just me and my worries
And everyone’s in a hurry
Can we slow down?
The TV’s playing, I can hear them
Saying, “Chase your dreams and you’ll be happy”
But I know deep inside that it’s
Impossible since there’s so many others that share the same goal
It’s love versus logic
This feeling’s so toxic, I know
It’s getting exhausting
How can I choose?
Every thought’s getting blurry
With the darkness returning, oh
I don’t belong on this journey
Can I turn around?
Now, society is telling me that
“There’s no place for what you have to offer” (Offer)
And I know, deep inside, that it’s
Impossible since there’s so many others that share the same goal
It's love versus logic, yeah
This feeling's so toxic, I know
It's getting exhausting
How can I choose?
Oh
In this life, I swear
It’s never, ever gonna be that way
You get your hopes high for nothing
Oh, I know
Oh
In this life, I swear
It’s never, ever gonna be that way
You get your hopes high for nothing
Oh, I know
It’s love versus logic, yeah
This feeling’s so toxic, I know
It’s getting exhausting
How can I choose? (Oh)
(In this life, I swear
It’s never, ever gonna be that way
You get your hopes high for nothing
Oh, I know
In this life, I swear
It’s never, ever gonna be that way
You get your hopes high for nothing
Oh, I know)
OCEANS
Floating underneath, why don’t you follow? (Follow)
Seems so lonely here, but there’s no sorrow (Sorrow)
Reality’s the same, the truth keeps fading (Fading)
But when the waves approach my skin, it’s all so distant (Distant)
I’m slowly losing all of my control, and
My heart’s refusing just to let it go
Into the deep (Into the deep)
You know I’m trying to forget it all, but
The ocean’s calling me to take the fall
Into the deep (Into the deep)
I’m screaming for you
I’m reaching for you
It’s not enough for me
I’m longing for you
But what can I do
Do without you here?
Drifting far away, but I don’t need saving (Saving)
The waves wash over me, my thoughts escaping (Escaping)
I always fall behind, losing time
But trust me, I’ll be fine
In time, I'll be better (Oh, hey)
I’m slowly losing all of my control, and
My heart’s refusing just to let it go
Into the deep (Into the deep)
You know I’m trying to forget it all, but
The ocean’s calling me to take the fall
Into the deep (Into the deep)
I’m screaming for you
I’m reaching for you
It’s not enough for me
I’m longing for you
But what can I do
Do without you here?
I keep running back and forth
Trying to decipher the meaning
Am I running out of time?
Getting close but still far away
I keep running back and forth
Trying to decipher the meaning
Am I running out of time?
Getting close but still far away
(You’re so important to me)
(I’m lost in this ocean of you
Did you know, did you know, did you know?)
LET GO
I’m so worked up over love that ain’t real
I hurt myself trying hard to conceal
My feelings for you come in waves
Of highs and the lows
Someday, I’ll need to learn
To let go
Take it slow
I’ve been praying for peace in this night
‘Cause you still occupy all of my mind
My heart is burning in flames
But you’ll never know
Someday, I’ll need to learn
To let go
Just take it slow
Time and time again
I’d choose you in this rain
(But you don’t feel a thing)
There’s this magic in
You that I can’t explain
So I guess now I will live with these nightmares instead (Ah)
Let the pieces stay shattered again, oh
BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE
Wasted my nights
With you on my mind
Wishfully thinking
Hope it’ll sink in
Pain has revived
For too many nights
But your silhouette is still engraved in my mind
You’ll never know
I’ve boiled it down to what we could be
Tempted to try keeping you next to me
But deep down I know
There’s no way you’re coming home
You were a beautiful nightmare
A beautiful nightmare (Oh)
I need to let go but I’m scared that you’ll slip out my mind
It’s getting too cold
From summer to snow
I’m falling behind now
Slipping behind now
(Give me a day
I need time away
To get it together
to get it together)
I’ll always know
I’ll never get away from this demon I see
I’m haunted day and night, but I’m too blind to see
But deep down I know (deep down I know)
There’s no way you’re coming home
You were a beautiful nightmare
A beautiful nightmare (Oh)
I need to let go but I’m scared that you’ll slip out my mind
(I don’t want to lose to you now, oh
I’ve given all I’ve got
I don’t want to lose to you now)
FORWARD
See the light in the distance
We’re gonna be alright
Let's take our time
I know we'll be fine
Why don't we just let go of all our fears tonight?
I know we'll make it
Yeah we will make it
Keep your head held high
Hold on for tonight
You can trust me
We will fix this overtime
Gloomy days are behind us
We’ll just look ahead
To see what awaits us
And what lies ahead for us
Keep your head held high
Hold on for tonight
You can trust me
We will fix this overtime
I won't give up
Just take my hand
We might stumble on this road, but we will keep on moving forward
Just close your eyes
Take in the light
Don't you trust me?
Keep your head held high
Hold on for tonight
You can trust me
We will fix this over time
