[Verse 1]

What's on your mind

It takes a while to bring you down, yeah

And all you wanna say

Is how the sky just made you feel fine


[Chorus]

Music for your head

Lovers for your pain

Drugs for when you're lonely

Polish for your nails

Laughter for the morning

Your time for life, your time for light


[Verse 2]

What's it today

That makes the world seem so far away

If we drove like this for years

I know I'd never feel this close again


[Chorus]

You ask me if I'm kind

Decided I was fine

You said I smoked for England

I said you missed the point

Your cigarette is burning

'Cause I don't have the sense to turn around


[Verse 3]

Days on the run

When you know what you've got, yeah

So fine for a while

Soon I know I'll have to leave again


[Chorus]

But if we take our time

Who knows we might find

Sapphire for the morning

Dreams for the night

Days full of laughter

Days full of joy that we might find


[Verse 1]

Dreams on your mind

It takes a while to bring you down, yeah

And all you wanna say

Is what you got and where you're going


[Chorus]

Music for your head

Lovers for your pain

Drugs for when you're lonely

Polish for your nails

Laughter for the morning

Your time for life, your time for love
