By Your Side (In My Mind) Part II

You met me in L.E.S. playing 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

Together for life

Wouldn't it be nice

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

But was it all a dream I have every night

Or is this the first day of my life?

'Cause in my mind, in my head

Even when we're grey and old

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

Sharing 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 grey and old

A cigarette on your lips

One leg crossed over the other

With that look in your eyes that hypnotized me that summer

You stared through my soul

Till 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 detatching

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

Projecting both ways

Defense 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?

Losing 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, in my head

Even when we're grey and old

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

Sharing 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 grey and old

'Cause in my mind, in my head

Even when we're grey and old

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

Sharing 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 grey and old
