The moment we meet

Notice the sparks start to fly

Turn into heat

It's gonna get cute you and I

Comes time to leave

Unaware hours gone by

Done the best to stay

Out of my own way

Starts with a phone call

Sided with caution, three day wait

Certain we'll soon fall

Not gonna leave this up to fate

Picture together

All of my problems you erase

I don't hear a peep

Guess I'll get some sleep

Every time I drop, into pieces over nothing

At the top, with belief that this is something

But its not, lie awake and I am wasting time

Lying to my mind, lying to my mind

The very next weekend

My call finally gets returned

My will has been weakened

You'd think that by now I'd have learned

She says we can be friends

Bringing about my concern

Never had control

Back to feeling low

Every time I drop, into pieces over nothing

At the top, with belief that is something

But its not, lie awake and I am wasting time

Lying to my mind, lying to my mind

There is a so fine line

Built to give way by design

And you walk at your own risk

Of being left out in cold

Or so I've been told

Guess I haven't been told, no no

Everytime I drop, into pieces over nothing

At the top, with belief that this is something

But its not, lie awake and I am wasting time

Lying to my mind, lying to my mind.
