[Hard Start] [Immediate Vocals] [No Intro] (Verse 1) The bedroom is quiet, the clock starts to chime I’m drawing a line through the noise in my mind A perfectly logical, safe little plan Where nobody bleeds and I stay where I am But down in the dark there’s a pull I can’t fight A beautiful danger coming alive It tells me the truth, it says it out loud But how do I hold you in front of a crowd? (Pre-Chorus) The mind wants distance The heart knows the truth One is trying to save me One is running to you (Chorus) Oh, the heart is the enemy of the mind It runs out ahead while the brain stays behind The mind is a prison of logic and fear Asking “How would we get from right here to there?” It counts every reason, it measures the cost The damage, the fallout, the things that get lost But the heart doesn’t care what we’re up against The heart is the enemy of common sense (Verse 2) The mind is a maze where the old doubts spin “Are you really enough? Could this ever begin?” It replays the whispers of what they will say Building a wall every step of the way “How are you gonna do this? You’ll blow up your life” It sharpens its questions like edges of knives But then I look at you and the calculus breaks The heart isn’t guided by the mind’s fear (Pre-Chorus) The mind sees disaster The heart sees home One says “Don’t risk it” The other says “Don’t let go” (Chorus) Oh, the heart is the enemy of the mind It runs out ahead while the brain stays behind The mind is a prison of logic and fear Asking “How would we get from right here to there?” It counts every reason, it measures the cost The damage, the fallout, the things that get lost But the heart doesn’t care what we’re up against The heart is the enemy of common sense (Bridge) Guilt is a shadow that lives in my head Telling me stories before they exist Saying “Be realistic, just look at the odds” Like love only answers to cautious thoughts But the chest keeps pounding, pulling me through To the terrifying beauty of wanting you And maybe the mind was never designed To understand this love at this time in my life (Final Chorus) Yeah, the heart is the enemy of the mind It runs out ahead while the brain stays behind The mind is a cage full of “What if?” and “Why?” Staring straight down while the heart wants to fly It counts every reason, it measures the cost The damage, the fallout, the things that get lost But the heart doesn’t care what we’re up against The heart is the enemy of common sense (Outro) So quiet the voices, just shut down the noise The endless equations of what could go wrong My mind is still spinning, but losing the fight Because the heart already knows What the mind could never understand Yeah… the heart is the enemy of the mind.
