Story Behind The Song

Lyricist's wandering inspired this melancholy dream.

Song Description

It's what you'd hear after hours in a smoky lounge. It's about the kind of person who frequented that lounge and finally wants to come in from the cold.

Lyrics

Out of My Mind

Out of lines and out of reasons
Out again
Until the moon becomes the sun
What a jam, this indecision
What have I done
I kept you with me all those crazy nights
But I must have been blind
Darlin'
I must have been
Out of my mind
Out of bounds, out of control and
Out too far
Too late and much too hard to find
In again and in confusion
Way out of line
I thought I needed what I never had
But I had it all the time
Darlin'
I must have been
I must have been
Out of my mind
High times and hard times have come to
An end
Time you and I come full circle
Again
I've been out of your arms
And I'm wanting back in
I must have been
I must have been
Out of
My mind
Out of all the other places
I have turned
To rest my burning heart
In the end left empty spaces
So far apart
I see your face as if I'm seeing mine
With a love that once was blind
Darlin'
I must have been
I must have been
Out of
My mind
Out of love and understanding
Just in time
To last forever and a day
Out of all the explanations
What can I say
I'll make a promise I can never break
Leave my wandering behind
Darlin'
I must have been
I must have been
Out of
My mind
