In The Back Of My Mind

The Beach Boys

I'm blessed with everything
A world to which a man can cling
So happy times when I break out in tears
In the back of my mind I still have my fears

I live my life with her
Love her true she knows I'm sure
I make her happy just living so plain
In the back of my mind I'm 'fraid it's gonna change

I tried to run far way from thoughts
I should try to keep away
But they just keep coming back to me
I tried to rationalize
But some day I might realize
That things are just good the way they'll be
I know it's so hard to find
A girl who really understands your mind
What will I do if I leave her
It will always be way in the back of my mind

    Why has no one commented on this beautiful song? This is one of my personal favorites, and unfortunately not a very well known one. It is very heartfelt and the lyrics are some of the most touching and meaningful to my own life that I've ever heard (and "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times"). I believe it to be completely about uncertainty about the future and outcome of life and not wanting the good things in your life/happiness to go away; mainly not wanting to lose someone you love and things changing for the worst. There's a lot of soul searching and it's just some of the most honest lyrics I've ever heard.
