My Heart Can't Keep Up With My Mind Songtext
von Ed Harcourt

My heart can′t keep up with my mind
It skips a beat and only loses the time
A modern day Frankenstein
It's like they′re two separate parts that can't seem to bind
One day, I'm impulsive and crazy
The next day, I′m a map in the dark
I wonder if my mind will ever slow down for my heart

I′m headed for a sudden decline
A Marietta trench with no end in sight
My heart can't keep up with my mind
The blood′s overflowing, and it's too far behind
I′m chasing my obsessions in circles
The beetles rip the page off the chart
Wonder if my mind will ever stop and wait for my heart


All of the mess that we make
All of the dreams that we break
Forget about saving face, you know you can own it
Every smile hits you better
Every joke that you lay down
And all the guilt that you suffer
It's yours if you want it

My mind won′t put up with my heart
It's fed up with the madness and the crooked facade
I wonder who'll have the last laugh
I feel so embarrassed on both their behalves
It′s so English to ask for forgiveness, for why one even exist?
I′m hoping that you could step in before one of them slips

All of the mess that we make
All of the dreams that we break
Forget about saving face, you know you can own it
Every smile hits you better
Every joke that you lay down
And all of the guilt that you suffer
It's yours if you want it
But you don′t have to take it
It's yours if you want it
But you don′t have to take it

My heart can't keep up with my mind
Skips a beat and only loses the time
