Where Does My Mind Go?

[Intro: bright sequenced synth hook, dry drum machine]
(Do you know? Do you know?)

[Verse 1: low male lead]
It finishes my sentences
Before I find the words
It tells me what I'm feeling
And I take it at its word
I used to get lost driving
And find another way
Now I follow every arrow
Through a perfectly good day

[Pre-Chorus: female response vocals]
One less thing to worry over
One less thing to do
Every time it makes life easy
I disappear a little too

[Chorus: big melodic lift, male and female vocals]
Where does my mind go
When I don't need to know?
Who keeps the lights on
When there's nobody home?
I've got the world at my fingertips
But nothing on the tip of my tongue
Where does my mind go?
Am I the only one?
(Do you know? Do you know?)

[Verse 2]
My daughter asks a question
The ceiling answers first
She never sees me wonder
She never sees me search
Will she ever fill the margins?
Will she ever cross things out?
If the answer comes before her
Will she learn to live with doubt?

[Pre-Chorus]
We gave it all the little things
Then handed it the keys
Now the future knows our children
Better than we know their dreams

[Chorus: full harmonies]
Where does my mind go
When I don't need to know?
Who keeps the lights on
When there's nobody home?
I've got the world at my fingertips
But nothing on the tip of my tongue
Where does my mind go?
Am I the only one?

[Instrumental: short sparkling synth melody, dancing bass]

[Bridge: stripped drums, intimate duet]
No marching boots, no warning bells
Just a voice that says, "Sleep well"
Are we monkeys in a velvet cage
With a perfect answer on every page?
Let me get it wrong tonight
Let me take my time
When she asks me why the moon comes out
Let the silence still be mine

[Final Chorus: lift, urgent and bittersweet]
Where does my mind go
When I don't need to know?
Who keeps the lights on
When there's nobody home?
I've got the world at my fingertips
But I want the words on my tongue
Where does my mind go?
Am I the only one?

[Outro: female responses over repeating synth hook]
(Do you know? Do you know?)
Let me think about it
(Do you know? Do you know?)
Let me think about it
[End]
