Lyrics

World, I'm not the same
I can't remember my name half the time
I took a walk - I thought I'd get some air
But was really not aware of what I said or what I did
I never see the dark of night or the light of day
I took a walk into the park and never saw the children play
Everything I see is a crazy kind of mystery to me
I'm flirting with the mother of insanity
Oh, babe, where is my mind?
Since you left me it's been hard to find
Sugar where, where is my mind?
It started to rain, and I felt insane
But one thing's for sure
It's going to rain forever more
Until you come back to me, please, baby
World, I'm not the same
I go somewhere and can't remember how I came
I'm completely turned around, lost in space
It's your face I see constantly
I never know from right or wrong, or anything
I'm like a desperate man
Just see me try to cling
To the only other parts you've left to me
I'm flirting, I'm flirting with uncertainty
Oh, bring back my mind
Since you left me, honey
I can't find it
Oooh, honey, bring back my mind
I'm starting to say
More and more every day
Please release my soul
Give me back control of my mind
Only you can save me
