Mind Mischief – English Lyrics

• By: Tame Impala

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Feels like my life is ready to blow

Me and my love we'll take it slow

I hope she knows that I love her long

I just don't know where the hell I belong

How optimism led me astray

Two hundred things I took the wrong way

But I saw her love gauge runnin' low

I tried to fill it, but it overflowed

Feels like my life is ready to blow

Me and my love will take it slow

I hope she knows that I love her long

I just don't know where the hell I belong

She remembers my name

Could be blown way out

It's all going to change

She remembers my name

But she was only messing around

...

Please, no more playing with my heart

Ooh, I was just so sure of everything

Ooh, that's what you get for dreaming aloud

No more mischief with my mind

No more getting it wrong

If forever, we'll see

No more guessing for me

I'll be frozen, here on
