Will I live and die in a band?

My consciousness controls my hand

She can't swim very well

(No, but you wouldn’t be able to tell)

Let's find something to watch, then watch our phones for half the time

When we go for food, you have yours and I'll have mine

It says, don’t take these pills if you've been drinking any wine

Oh, these things, they have been playing on my mind

These things, they have been playing on my mind

I think I've seen the side of every road

They all lead somewhere, I've been told

Will I get divorced when I'm old?

(Oh, why am I always cold?)

And I met one of your friends, and it was dead nice

He was fine, but he said

Things that interest me exist outside of space and time

Now, I know I should've left it, but who says that? What a sigh

It all kicked off and it's been playing on my mind

The whole thing has been playing on my mind

I think it's strange that I still call you

When I’ve got nothing to say

The truth is that I still adore you

And nothing really matters anyway

But I won’t get clothes online 'cause I get worried about the fit

But that rule don’t apply concerning my relationships

See, I keep getting this stuff wrong, take me out, put me on

Oh, these things, they have been playing on my mind

The whole thing has been playing on my mind

Oh, it's all been just playing on my mind
