February Mind
From ones and zeroes you came to me
A pretty vision, for all to see
Bright days and ideas
Meant to be
Racing lemonade and your old news
Diesel whispers of my half truths
Just smears on the canvas of me and you
Standin’ in the ebb and flow
I look for clues, look out below
Cuz I’ll be damned to be the last to know in my February Mind
Wanna stay below deck where the wind isn’t blowing
I wanna stay blind to the cracks
that’s showing
Don’t know the forecast, or where
this is going…in my February Mind
I go looking for ghosts when it’s sunny
I spin out and I make jokes about shit that’s not funny
I try to re-write the code while the program’s still running down
In my February Mind
I hide my heart where no one can reach it
I play the part, play it cool, tryin’ to keep it
And I play nice so that nobody discovers my secret doubt
In my February Mind, in my February Mind
Wanna stay below deck where the wind isn’t blowing
I wanna stay blind to the cracks that’s showing
Will you go on with it baby, now knowing me and my February Mind
Now I should’ve landed anywhere but here
Tearing down some Valentine veneer
In my February Mind, in my February Mind
Yeah, I could still color inside the lines
And just hope that your love is a different kind
But will you hang in there?
Cuz it takes time
To quiet my February Mind
It takes time to quiet my February Mind
Are you gonna leave me alone
In my February Mind, my February Mind
