Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey, so great to see you again

Blown in on a wayward wind

Oh, how the years have bent and bound our lives

It's been such a lonely time

But know that I'm on your side

It's always a calm to confide our minds

[Chorus]

But I don't want to bring you down

How can I bring you around

Back onto solid ground?

But oh, all the days between

How can we say what we mean?

How can we learn to believe?

So breathe, and now

Tell me what's on your mind

Tell me what's on your mind

Tell me what's on your mind

[Verse 2]

Wait, I don't like to see you this way

So many clouds in the way

What can I do to convey my mind?

If I, if only I could stop time

Anchor aweigh and unwind

Knowing we'll never align our minds

[Chorus]

But I don't want to bring you down

How can I bring you around

Back onto solid ground?

But oh, all the days between

How can we say what we mean?

How can we learn to believe?

So breathe, and now

Tell me what's on your mind

Tell me what's on your mind

Tell me what's on your mind

[Outro]

On your mind

Tell me what's on your mind

Tell me what's on your mind

Tell me what's on your mind

On your mind

On your mind
