Outta My Mind Lyrics

Out of my mind
Out of my mind
All of the time
Wish you could help me mister
Wish you could lift me up
Wish you could pack my parachute mister
Wish you could pull me up
The winds of change...I'm stuck beneath the rain
I wish you could help me up
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Once inside, I'm out of my mind out
Out of my mind
Out of my mind yeah
Once inside, I'm out of my mind
Wish you could help me...give me a pill
A-just a little drink that I could swill
A little something anything anything, I'll try it all
I ain't got nowhere to go from here
I'm just about this far from drowning in my very own tears
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Once inside, I'm out of my mind yeah
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
I don't feel so fine
Out of my mind
Where do I go...where do I stay
I got no place to lay on the hay
Where do I go to soothe my head
Guess I'll turn on music instead
Where do I see...where do I shine
No one wants to take my mind
Where do I go...how do I feel
Guess I'll waste away in here
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind every single time.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is a b-side from the Not For You single. It's a sweet song. It's pretty much about a guy with mental problems looking for some help.
