Steady on My Mind - Parquet Courts

«Where could I start?»

Those are the words I write

A late sentiment, a bit misplaced

But that comes as no surprise

At a loss, I’m overwhelmed

Like my memory over time

Just remember that I’ll keep you in

A place that I can find

Steady on my mind

You know when it all moves too quick

And can get out of hand?

Sometimes I need a reprieve

I know you’ll understand

You lift the weight in the distance

When my eloquence subsides

And I’ll always hold you close

When you can’t be by my side

Steady on my mind

Wherever you may stay

That’s where I’ll return

I’ve never felt committed to much

But that don’t mean that I can’t learn

To dedicate and reciprocate

What you send my way

And I promise that I’ll say «hello»

As often as «goodbye»

Steady on my mind
