Mind Contorted Lyrics

I’ve been through some hard
But I’m feeling so much better
And I’m standing in your yard
I could be there forever
And I know if you saw me now
You would be much perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
But I love you
Every time I think of you
The sun shines brightly on my soul
But there’s something missing
Part of you part of the whole
I cried a million tears
Fill an ocean with my sorrow
And if I had my way
I’d be up to see you tomorrow
And I know if you saw me now
You would be quite perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
But I love you
Every time I think of you
I feel like writing a song
And if I could win your heart
I never thought it’d take so awful long
And I wish upon a star
Hope that we could get together
I’ll be standing in your yard
We could be there forever
And I know if you saw me now
You would be quite perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
And I know if you saw me now
You would be quite perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
But I love you

No comments? I love this song, so catchy and awesome. Anyone know if there's a no live version of this song? The only one I have it on the Frankenstein Love album.

A studio version can be found on Fun.

Also there is an awesome cover version by Major Matt Mason USA on the "I killed the monster"-Tribute album.

Most likely my favourite song of his, at the moment. It's a beautiful open letter to Laurie Allen, explaining that he loves her and although all this time has past he can't get over what he missed out on, he still wishes they could be together and she's still the inspiration to his songs. Despite the fact he wishes to see her, he knows after all he's been through and how he's changed physically and mentally, she'd be perplexed at what she saw if they met again and her mind would be contorted as to what to think about him and how to engage him.
