Back of My Mind

Pulling out my hair
I'll just sit and stare at the party
Like I do
Adjusted to the cold
If only I could begin to mold
Don't mind if I do
But I know that I sometimes lack tenacity
Throw away all the keys
You're making a fool of me
Can you sit still? Stay in one place?
You don't have to be ahead of the game
I'll try to let peace wash over me
And each day we stay the same
Like the way my religion pulls my weight
It's instilled in the back of my mind
I could chase after love, always too far behind
When will I learn to face the music?
Covering the walls with my excuses
Sabotaging like I'm in the movies
Reading all the books, but what'll save me?
It was nice to believe that there was someone who was heading for me
And I'd make fun of it, but you'd get down on your knees for me
But I, would do the most to get out
Isolation or intimacy?
And each day we stay the same
Like Joan of Arc could never live to see the day
It's instilled in the back of my mind
I could chase after love, always too far behind
When will I learn to face the music?
Covering the walls with my excuses
Sabotaging like I'm in the movies
Reading all the books, but what'll save me?
What'll save me, what'll save me?
(What'll save me?)
He can tell me he'll change, but the holidays remain the same
Yeah, buy that ticket to Spain, but you can't outrun the pain
Try to rewire the paths in your brain
My professor thinks I've gone insane
Pray to the heavenly sky
It's tired of me
Well damn it, I tried
Well damn it, I tried
Like I'm in the movies
