Lyrics of Mind Mischief by Tame Impala
Feels like my life is ready to blow
Me and my love we′ll take it slow
I hope she knows that I love her long
I just don't know where the hell I belong
How optimism led me astray
Two hundred things I took the wrong way
But I saw her love gauge runnin′ low
I tried to fill it, but it overflowed
Feels like my life is ready to blow
Me and my love will take it slow
I hope she knows that I love her long
I just don't know where the hell I belong
She remembers my name
Could be blown way out
It's all going to change
She remembers my name
But she was only messing around
Please, no more playing with my heart
Ooh, go with Mr. Right just for once
No more mischief with my mind
No more getting it wrong
I′ll be frozen, here on
If forever, we′ll see
No more guessing for me
Ooh, I was just so sure of everything
Ooh, that's what you get for dreaming aloud
Then it all just came out
Guess I′ll hold in, now on
If forever, we'll see
No more guessing for me
