If You Don’t Mind

Published on December 8, 2024 By Sabin

A song about being mentally unstable and in love and hoping it’s all okay. What is it like to live in a fictional space, trapped in a mind that drifts from here to there. And what is it like to be in love? A song of hope and reconciliation in a meandering, off-key, indie kind of way. The guitar solo in the bridge was one of my favorite to play.

Lyrics

My hair is quite crazy,
and my mind’s a bit hazy,
but if you don’t mind,
then neither do I.

My thoughts can get twisted.
I need to be lifted,
but if you don’t mind
then neither do I,
neither do …

Do you know what it’s like
to be inside of a mind
that can find no way
outside of itself?
Do you know what it’s like
to be inside of a mind
that can find no way
outside of itself?
Outside of itself?
Outside of itself?

I know that I complain,
and I’ve caused a lot of pain,
‘cause in my mind
I live a thousand lives.

But I can be your friend, yeah.
It doesn’t have to end
between you and I.
Please ease my mind,
ease my …

Do you know what it’s like
to be inside of a mind
that can find no way
outside of itself?
Do you know what it’s like
to be inside of a mind
that can find no way
outside of itself?
Outside of itself?
Outside of itself?
Outside of itself?

My hair is quite crazy,
and my mind’s a bit hazy,
but if you don’t mind,
then neither do I.
