Verse 1
Take your time and
Turn my mind inside out
Sleep is something
I've learned to live without
Comes a time when
I'll figure this all out
But for now I'm
Not sure if I'm allowed
Chorus
I can't take my mind off of you
I don't want to
I would never
I'm not going to
Tell you what to do
Forever on my brain
I try not to complain
Verse 2
Turn back time and
Kiss me on the mouth
Switch to standby
Not time to power down
All the while I'm
Still learning sites and sounds
Crossed the wires and
Just blew my speaker out
Chorus
Bridge

My Life Is Not My Own

My life is not my own
I bought and sold it years ago
For a chance at love that turned out good
Now I'm kinda sorta doing what I should
To take this love, reanimate it into shape
It's understood that
My life is not my own
I bought and sold it years ago
Chorus
I take what I can get at home
Never worked my fingers to the bone
Left all of my self contral
My life, my life, my life is not my own
Verse 2
My heart is not my own
It's permanently out on loan
To a girl who treats it pretty good
She's kinda sorta doing what she should
To take this heart, reanimate it into shape
It's understood that
My heart is not my own
It's permanently out on loan
Chorus
Bridge
Coda
My life is not my own
I bought and sold it years ago
My heart is not my own
It's permanently out on loan
Ba ba dada da ba ba
Dada da ba ba dada da ba ba da

Verse 1
It's not your fault
The timing's all wrong
Stay out of trouble
In turn you just might find
You get farther than you ever thought
And there's always heavy blankets to crawl underneath
Same old stories on endless repeat
To keep you company
And I've got airplanes to look forward to
Going backwards I followed you
As far as my love would go
Chorus
But when those sticks click and we all come in
We've got so much more to show
Grown up shit pulls the plug and takes over our love
And Ohio there you go
Verse 2
You worked your fingers to the bone
I climbed my way out of a hole
We're both just crazy enough to keep all this up
But then Ohio there you go
And I've got airplanes to look forward to
Going backwards I followed you
As far as my love would go
Chorus

Coming Down to the Ghost

Verse 1
We're coming down to the ghost
It's not the path I would have chose
Your mind's a tack that doesn't stick
The picture hangs while that tack it don't do shit
Verse 2
To our surprise the picture stays
A closer look, it looks OK
Your mind's a tack starting to stick
But just in case let's get the fuck out of the way
Chorus
I'll be there to make sense of all the shit you say
That don't make sense at all
Uh huh uh huh
Verse 3
We're coming down to the ghost
I've got the time and you're the most
Your mind's a tack that fully sticks
The picture hangs and it's our version of perfect
