Lyrics

Straight Across My Mind

[Intro]

What

What

Oh yeah

What

[Verse 1]

The first time's easy I could walk away

But something in me makes me stay

The second I leave you I'm without

Third time lucky without a doubt

[Pre-Chorus]

This disease is growing in me

From a seed into a twisted tree

[Chorus]

Oh, it's like an obsession, an addiction

Oh, you keep on running straight across, straight across my mind

I'll never look away

It's like the sun has opened up my eyes

You're straight across my mind (my mind)

Straight across my mind (my mind)

[Verse 2]

Forced expression fails to meet

Expectations of the weak

Cinco de Mayo comes again

Six years dying to understand

[Pre-Chorus]

This disease that's growing in me

From a seed into a twisted tree

[Chorus]

Oh, it's like an obsession, an addiction

Oh, you keep on running straight across, straight across my mind

I'll never look away

It's like the sun has opened up my eyes

You're straight across my mind

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

Now this disease is growing in me

From a seed into a twisted tree

[Outro]

Oh, it's like an obsession, an addiction

Oh, you keep on running straight across, straight across my mind

I'll never look away

It's like the sun has opened up my eyes

It's like the sun has opened up my eyes

You're straight across my mind (my mind)

Straight across my mind (my mind)

You're straight across my mind (my mind)

Straight across my mind (my mind)

Straight across my mind
