lyrics

Another day to improve my English, cause I can hardly talk to you
When I'm with you my thoughts speed up, faster than the speed of sound
You're uncommon, you're one in a billion, I am very fond of you
Not just because you are pretty, you have personality

It was a new, near tangible thought, halfway through, my head and my heart
It was a new, near tangible thought, what to do, fore I fall apart

Final thoughts as a mockingbird, I think I'd rather be myself
That's my only chance to know you, cause false personas push away
I tend to act on impulse sometimes, blame it on the thought police
A mind is sort of like a forest, it needs to be explored and tamed

It was a new, near tangible thought, halfway through, my head and my heart
It was a new, near tangible thought, I saw you, in the parking lot

Another day to chase my dreams of you
I can hardly turn my mind from you
I could be more self-sufficient too
Not that I have tried or wanted to

(Is pondering worth the effort, if thoughts don't change a thing?
Maybe one should try some doing, before the lazy dreams seep in)
