Song Description
"Hearts and Minds" is about the confusion of falling in love, when you forget where one person stops and the other begins. It's about the moments when passion is all-consuming, but you fear you're losing yourself. It's about the dichotomies between thinking and feeling, the desire to risk everything and the fear of losing control.

Lyrics
Hey what have I done?
Pushed you away
Had we just begun?
You would think
It's an easy thing
But not for me
I lost my way
Words go nowhere
Lay my soul bare
Hearts and minds betray
You send me
But I can't find myself
You send me
I wanna live
I really need you now
Say are you broken too?
The old unspoken rule
We never hear ourselves
How long can I go on
With all I feel inside?
It's not like I hide it well
Call I'll follow
Where? I'll lead you
Hearts and minds in sway
You send me
But I can't find myself
You send me
I wanna live
I really need you now
I'll be a criminal
Be your alibi
Be a broken heart
A love that never dies
Be an open book
The chance you never took
Standing strong and wise
That's a pack of lies
Tell you everything
Tell you anything
All I have you see
Is flowing out of me
If I could strike a spark
A shot ring in the dark
Feel the light received
And make your heart believe me
Please believe me
If you believe me
Then I'll believe
You send me
But I can't find myself
You send me
I wanna live
I really need you now
Really need you now
Really need you now
Really need you now
I really need you now
