If you just get it together and read my mind

Then sleeping would be easy

And then I'll be there to acquiesce

I confess I'm in trouble

Another afternoon of increments

And asking the wrong questions

Then you get up and leave again

Just as the evening threatens to set

Consider this now it's not too late

I have watched you change

The colour of the trap

I have learned to wait

Most of the things that you say

I don't understand but I will sit and listen

I nod along attentively

But the truth is I can't concentrate

Consider this now it's not too late

I have watched you change

The colour of the trap

I have learned a way, make no mistake

I have learned to wait and learned you can make me

I need something to sort me out

I need someone to come and shake me

And your exit calms me down

Before it infuriates me

Girl, I'm in trouble

Wish you'd just get it together and read my mind
