out of mind

from we are the garages (vol 3) by the garages

by VigilantBaker (vigilantbaker.bandcamp.com)

so many fires we keep putting out
there’s always something new
and i know i won’t be standing out
if there’s something more important to do


but i’m right there, right there in your face
lead batter, out of place
swinging, just swinging, hoping to make contact
and if i do, i rarely make an impact
 

i guess i’m not on your mind
but i’m out of my mind for you
just need to unwind
i’m having trouble finding you
i know you’re not disinclined
you’re having trouble finding me
but you’re lost in the grind
you barely have time for me
 

and if you just leave me here
well, i guess that’s okay with me
but why would anyone ever cheer
for someone they can’t see?


‘til then i’m running, running from base to base
star pitcher, but out of place
so i’ll hit the ball, as far as i possibly can
out of sight, exactly how i am


i’m not on your mind
but i’m out of my mind for you
i guess we’re misaligned
i’m having trouble finding you
you respond in kind
having trouble finding me
i know i’m falling behind
but you’re always behind me
