lyrics

You can't read no minds what she said
None 'cept for mine what she said
And then took back the text from the page
Ooh, I carry the weight of your words
Even though I'm never sure
of the times when you mean what you say

What she said your holiday days
are times you choose to only spend on you
But I don't choose my days; I don't wait on no time
What she said you'll never do is ever have me- though, I'm in love with you
But I don't use you ways you do

You can't read no minds what she said

Ooh, I'll be confused for a lifetime
Not just 'cause you, but it's all fine
I don't like to know
You think it so bad not to read minds
At least when you have had so much time
But I don't know when you were sane

What she said your holiday days
are times you choose to only spend on you
But I don't choose my days; I don't wait on no time
What she said you'll never do is ever have me- though,
I'm in love with you
But I don't use you ways you do

I'm not so excited, the truth
If I were to tell you it, what would you do?
I don't include my thoughts
In things that I do at all
I have never had new
I have always had you
Never had any clue
I've been confused so long
My life is like a bomb

Can't you see down the street from the shining lights?
No one knows everything, but can't we all try?
I don't know
I don't know
What we do
