Speak My Mind

(album: A Reminder - 2011)

With a foot out the door and one in my way.
You're leaving me home for another work day.
I'd follow you out, but you keep me in so.
I'm watching you leave with my nose on the window.

I could just sleep all day.
Just to stay up at night.
And keep you awake.

If I could speak my mind.
I'd go out on a limb and say with a sigh.
I'm the only one who sees you think you're by yourself.

If I'm too much to carry.
Just put me down gently.
If I'm too much to carry.
Just put me down gently.

I've been your pillow for an after-work nap.
And how many shrinks curl up in your lap?
Friends come and go but I'm still here.
Have you forgotten me?
My curiosity is killing me.

If I'm too much to carry.
Just put me down gently.
If I'm too much to carry.
Just put me down gently.

Don't worry at all for me.
I've always landed on my feet.
So if you're gone.
At least leave the TV on re-runs.

I could just sleep all day.
Just to stay up at night.
Keep you awake.

If I could speak my mind.
I'd go out on a limb and say with a sigh.
I'm the only one who sees you think you're by yourself.

If I'm too much to carry.
Just put me down gently.
If I'm too much to carry.
Just put me down gently.

Just put me down gently.
(If I could speak my mind.)
Just put me down gently.
(If I could speak my mind.)
Just put me down gently.
