Vince Kaichan - Lock And Key

I can't get outta my mind
I really can't get outta my mind
I want to run home and hide
I really want to run home and hide
I'm trying to understand why
The words they just aren't flowing tonight
There's a wall to climb
Lock and key to find
To say the things that I'm thinking inside

There's lots of ways to say it
Some nice some not so kind
To tell them what he's about
"He's just a little shy"
"Has a rich inner life"
"That guy just standing alone all night"
He's looking out the window
Avoiding people's gaze
Seems like he's longing for something
We say his name in passing
He turns around real quick
And then goes back to the wall
I wonder what he's doing here

I can't get outta my mind
I really can't get outta my mind
I want to run home and hide
I really want to run home and hide
I'm trying to understand why
The words they just aren't flowing tonight
There's a wall to climb
Lock and key to find
To say the things that I'm thinking inside

He needs to find some help now
To get his life on track
So many hands to reach out to
With every missed connection
With every wasted chance
Another day staying silent
Another day to think of
The words that he won't say
Afraid to see what will happen
He can't do this much longer
The edge approaching fast
He's helpless to his own demons
Will he ever find his way

I can't get outta my mind
I really can't get outta my mind (gotta get outta my mind)
I want to run home and hide
I really want to run home and hide (I shouldn't stay here inside)
I'm trying to understand why (the words they won't come out)
The words they just aren't coming out right (why won't they come out)
There's a wall to climb
Lock and key to find
To say the things that I'm thinking inside

What if they don't even listen
What if no one even cares what I say
What if they finally hear me
And make me wish that I'd said nothing all day

I can't get outta my mind
I really can't get outta my mind
I want to run home and hide
I really want to run home and hide
I'm trying to understand why
The words they just aren't coming out right
There's a wall to climb
Lock and key to find
To say the things that I'm thinking inside
