By Your Side (In My Mind) Part II

Yeah, uh

You met me in L.E.S., playin' pool

You held a copper cup as you chugged that Mexican mule

Recognized danger, still fell in love like a fool

'Cause it was worth the risk, you're the exception, you weren't the rule, uh

Together for life, wouldn't it be nice?

Made this mistake before, I won't be makin' it twice

But was it all a dream I have every night

Or is this the first day of my life? (One, two, three, four) uh

'Cause in my mind, you're in my head (ay)

Even when we're gray and old (yeah)

I'm by your side, and you're on mine

Sharin' stories on our porch (wouldn't that be nice?)

And in my mind, in my head (yeah)

All the memories we hold (uh)

The dream's still big, the love's still strong

Even when we're gray and old (yeah)

A cigarette on your lips, one leg crossed over the other

With that look in your eyes to hypnotize me that summer

You stared through my soul 'til you rolled your eyes and drifted off

That's when I felt us start to drift apart from each other

Disassociation as I felt us detaching

Trust me, I could read between them lines in your captions

Projecting both ways, defence mechanisms

Two parallel people, two identical prisms

So did I really love you or just love that you're beautiful?

Was it what I thought it was, or was I delusional?

How scary would it be if you found out you were wrong?

All along and you were locked up somewhere institutional, like-

Where's my head? Where's my mind?

Have I lost 'em both this time?

If I'm not me and nothing's real

Were you ever really mine?

Losin' track of space and time

I hoped you'd always be mine

I fall down and I fall up

So was this real or all made up?

'Cause in my mind, you're in my head

Even when we're gray and old

I'm by your side, and you're on mine

Sharin' stories on our porch (wouldn't that be nice?)

And in my mind, in my head

All the memories we hold

The dream's still big, the love's still strong

Even when we're gray and old

'Cause in my mind, you're in my head

Even when we're gray and old

I'm by your side, and you're on mine

Sharin' stories on our porch

And in my mind, in my head

All the memories we hold

The dream's still big, the love's still strong

Even when we're gray and old
