State of Mind Lyrics

Lately I've been counting sheep

Haven't done that since I was a child

But I need more than a couple weeks

Just to get you off my mind

I've been reading books that I never would

Just to see if they can get me tired

I've been doing things that I know I shouldn't

Just to see if it'll pass the time

Always said I would never get down

Over some dumb love, dumb love

Well look at me now

Always said I would hold my head high

But I've been staring at the concrete ground for hours

at a time

How do I get out of

(ooh, ooh)

This stupid state of mind?

And put things in perspective?

(ooh, ooh)

'Cause my vision's really shifted and blurred

Since you walked out my life

Ohh, or maybe since you walked in

I just couldn't recognize it in the moment

How do I get out of

(ooh, ooh)

This stupid state of mind?

Sometimes I forget to breathe

Fists are clenched and I don't know why

Tension but there's no release

Wishing tears would fall, not dry

Everything unsaid running through my head

It's a never-ending feedback wire

Maybe I'm still caught up on the way you left

With no explanation or goodbye

Always said I would never get down

Over some dumb love, dumb love

Well look at me now

Always said I would hold my head high

But when I try my neck is killing me

I close my eyes you haunt my dreams

yeah

How do I get out of

(ooh, ooh)

This stupid state of mind?

And put things in perspective?

(ooh, ooh)

'Cause my vision's really shifted and blurred

Since you walked out my life

Ohh, or maybe since you walked in

I just couldn't recognize it in the moment

How do I get out of

(ooh, ooh)

This stupid state of mind?

No it's not what I expected

No it wasn't in the plan

To break myself apart

And put together again

No it's not what I had wanted

Don't know how I got here

I'm in denial

I should blame you

I blame the world

How do I get out of

This stupid state of mind?

And put things in perspective?

Cause my vision's really shifted and blurred

Since you walked out my life
