Pearls

[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
