Peace of Mind Lyrics
You know it takes
a long, long time
You know it takes
a long, long time
You love her so
and still you know
That you will never
want to let her go
Unless you leave her first
Then you come out on top
But, still
there's just one thing
You haven't got.
Peace of mind
Like when you treated her kind
It's hard to face
that open space.
You know it takes
a long, long time
You know it takes
a long, long time
When first you gave
and shared your soul
Showed her all those things
that take their toll
She knows your weak spot
But, she still gets you hot
So you do it again
Reveal what lies within.
And go for peace of mind
Like when you treated her kind
It's hard to face
that open space.
You're lookin' for
peace of mind
Anywhere you can find
Still searchin' for
peace of mind.
You know it takes
a long, long time
You know it takes
a long, long time.
a long, long time
You know it takes
a long, long time
You love her so
and still you know
That you will never
want to let her go
Unless you leave her first
Then you come out on top
But, still
there's just one thing
You haven't got.
Like when you treated her kind
It's hard to face
that open space.
a long, long time
You know it takes
a long, long time
When first you gave
and shared your soul
Showed her all those things
that take their toll
She knows your weak spot
But, she still gets you hot
So you do it again
Reveal what lies within.
Like when you treated her kind
It's hard to face
that open space.
peace of mind
Anywhere you can find
Still searchin' for
peace of mind.
a long, long time
You know it takes
a long, long time.

I played the old vinyl the other day and thought the same thing. Neil would have been 33 when this came out. I was 27. I remember thinking how mature and adult this album sounded, a long way from say, Blondie's Parallel Lines of the same year.

He wasn't ready to love her. Because he didnt fight his demons. So the realtionship eventually ended because of the chaos. The answer is in the empty space. Its scary to go there and reflect and kill your ego. It takes many times to realize. Many small deaths of the ego.
@Ouroboros15 it's like neil's singing about all the stuff we try to hide from ourselves.

"You love her so and still you know That you will never want to let her go Unless you leave her first Then you come out on top"
Makes me laugh, such a cynical twist to lovey-dovey lines, yet has a real bite to it.
