Lost In My Mind

from Out Of The Blue by Chris Conway

about

This new bossa song is about the ongoing struggle I have between what is in my mind and what is reality. Reality can never macth up. The verse about restaurants is a reference to my mother who always preferred what someone else had ordered.

lyrics

Lost In My Mind
I think I can talk to people pretty well
I've got a few funny stories that I can tell
But when I'm in company I can't understand
Why the conversation never goes the way that I planned

I'm in a restaurant I order something to eat,
I can visualise a culinary treat,
But when it arrives what do I find?
A plate of disappointment every time

chorus
Coz I'm Lost in my mind
Searching for a door that I can't seem to find
Coz I'm lost in my mind
And my virtual friends can't help me this time

When I feel I need to get away
I can picture a perfect holiday
But when I get to my destination
It can't match up to my imagination

There's a beautiful girl in my minds eye
Every time I think of her it makes me sigh,
But when I find the real thing, it makes me feel,
That I don't think I wanted her quite that real.

chorus

bridge
There's not enough joy and too many tears,
In a prison of preconceived ideas,
It's a strange situation that I find,
I really do want to go out of my mind.

There's got to be a way to disconnect,
The outside world from what I expect.
And plan my own little role reversal
And play a few scenes without a rehearsal,

Its time to shut my brain and computer down,
See what's happening in this town,
Feel the wind in my hair and just follow my feet,
And walk through my life down a two way street,

chorus
