Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're always nervous with the real thing
Mind is changing like a mood ring
Jumping every time the phone rings
'Cause your mind's off of me
[Verse 2]
Families faking on the TV
Live in the spectrum that we can't see
Crying tears that we don't believe
Keeps your mind off of me
[Chorus]
Take your mind off me a little while
In the darkest place I saw you smile
And the way it all changed
Makes me wanna cry, but
Take your mind off me, yeah
[Verse 3]
Your fake friends, they go out dancing
But you're too busy neuromancing
Every circuit in your heart sings
Keeps your mind off of me
[Chorus]
Take your mind off me a little while
In the darkest place I saw you smile
And the way it all changed
Makes me wanna cry, but
Take your mind off me, yeah
[Bridge]
I don't think about you
The warm rain in June
The feeling that my life had finally found some meaning
Don't think about you
Well, what can I do?
Now it's all irrelevant
Don't think about Pink Elephant, no
[Chorus]
Take your mind off me, yeah
Take your mind off me, yeah
And the way it all changed
Makes me wanna cry, but
Take your mind off me, yeah
[Outro]
Yeah
Yeah
The way it all changed
Makes me wanna cry, but
Take your mind off me, yeah
