COME TO MIND

When you finally showed the rest of your ... ilk
It took some time for me to get to speed -
To bury the need.
Now that I'm finally looking elsewhere for... love
Comes the time you've hit some hard ground
So you're coming back 'round
Well I don't think that I'll be there this time
Now that I've finally come to mind.

Used to be we spoke of high hopes
But that was me - you dreamed of the past
Youth always runs too fast.
Maybe I was making things up
I could have sworn I saw tears in your eyes
Now you want another try.
But I don't think that I'll be there this time
Now I've finally come to mind.

Think I'm gonna let you down easy
That's more than you did for me
When you set us free.
Ain't it funny how things got worked out
Now it's you chasing me, wanting more
Cupid's settled up the score

Maybe this'll get you a clue
Here's a lesson from love to be learned
'Bout how bridges get burned.
Don't think that I'll be there this time
Cause I've finally come to mind.

When you first showed the rest of your ... ilk
I fought and I begged - then I grieved!
I've since buried the need.
