Pay No Mind (Midnight Kids Remix)

She was dancing, she was smiling

Roses blooming on her cheeks

In a quiet kind of litany she accepted some defeat

And then she twirled into the arms

Of disgrace and then repelled

Now she's fallen to her knees

But you couldn't ever tell

And then she asks me how we got here

I told her I don't know

And if you keep on asking

I'll just keep saying so

This isn't what I wanted

It isn't what you need

Oh, let them keep on talking

Just calm yourself and breathe

Just calm yourself and breathe

Where the burdens of her mother

Weigh like sandbags on the eyes

As she closes just to open as the sirens whirling by

And now she's off to tell a secret

To a friend somewhere in town

And her friend just takes a moment

And asks why I'm not around

Darling, this is something I should've told you long ago

I just want you to feel safe

I just want to make you glow

Oh, how you glowed when we were young

And with nothing on our minds

But each other, one another and we had nothing then but time

And then she asks me how we got here

I told her I don't know

And if you keep on asking

I'll just keep saying so

This isn't what I wanted

It isn't what you need

Oh, let them keep on talking

Just calm yourself and breathe

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Why don't you let me play your mind?

Why do we have to go through this everytime

Some days you hear it

Some days you don't

Sometimes you feel it

Sometimes you won't

Just calm yourself and breathe

Don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Why don't you let me play your mind?

Don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Why don't you let me play your mind?
