[Verse 1]

You've got your own thoughts

Tenaciously, abruptly

Filibustering your words

Starting over twice

And wondering if it's nothing

Or if you might stay a while

[Chorus]

You've got your mind set on living in the past

Your handful of pearls

You've got your heart set on something that won't last

Your handful of pearls

[Verse 2]

Now you're falling back

Mid-air yet looking pensive

Oddly something soothes me

Plastering your mind

On endless strips of paper

Odd idiosyncrasy

[Pre-Chorus]

Watch out, the curb

I fly head first

[Chorus]

You've got your mind set on living in the past

Your handful of pearls

You've got your heart set on something that won't last

Your handful of pearls

You've got your mind set on living in the past

Your handful of pearls

You've got your heart set on something that won't last

Your handful of pearls
