[Verse 1]
You were at my door
I heard you knocking but I didn't care at all
I had been in all night just staring at the wall
I didn't really want to see you anymore

[Verse 2]
Coming from the road
You took your coat off and you threw it on the floor
You said "I can't believe you wanna hurt me so"
I said "I'm not supposed to be like this, you know"
Well, I just had to let you go

[Chorus]
What's on your mind?
When you're lost in time
What's on your mind?
Tell me why
Why does it have to be this way?

[Verse 3]
You were in that dream that I was dreaming
I was dreaming in a dream
Your nylon dress and I was floating back downstream
I wanted love to come and swallow everything
[Verse 4]
Everything gets real
Sooner or later, doesn't matter how you feel
You slammed that door shut on the night of glass and steel
I cannot blame you for believing what you believe
Well, I just had to let you go

[Chorus]
What's on your mind?
When you're lost in time
What's on your mind?
Tell me why
Why does it have to be this way?

[Verse 5]
Why do you always stay
Miles away
And two steps behind
Where the past is still living
Beautiful and forgiven
Do you not see
That you live in a dream
Hey

[Chorus]
What's on your mind?
When you're lost in time
What's on your mind?
Tell me why
Why does it have to be this way?
[Outro]
What's on your mind?
When you're lost in time
What's on your mind?
Tell me why
Why does it have to be this way?
