Minding My Heart

All I want and all I need

Going back and forth between

Which is right, which is left

To sit abandoned by itself

All the songs I never wrote

All those candles' stunted growth

Late night hurting, fever's chill

I want a word, I need a will

All these red things piled up inside

Me

All these green things piled by the wayside

See?

My heart is not the same as my mind

My mind is not the same as my heart

Echoes echo in the caves

Once I was a little brave

I wish I could fly away

Maybe I could skip today

What does tomorrow look like

Before it has a face?

Little red wagons with green wheels

Don't turn me out, I'll drag my heels

All these orange things piled up so high

Whew

All these blue things piled up behind my eyes

I knew

My heart is not the same as my mind

My mind is not the same as my heart

And there, do you see it?

Hiding under the faintest spark

A thought, a word

Something waiting to be heard

All I want, all I need

Just the time in between

Yesterday and what's next

Give me a phone to send the text

Meet me here under the sky

When it's full of twinkling lights

All I have, all I don't

What I need, what I won't

All these yellow things piled up to the sun

I see

All these purple things ready to run

That's me

My heart is not the same as my mind

My mind is not the same as my heart

So you, you, you

I'll remember

You can mold my mind

And hold my heart
