Verse 1
Sunset’s bleeding through the venetian blinds
I’m sipping cherry cola, losing track of time
You’re leaning in the doorway, looking like a ghost
The version of you that I loved the most
Is fading into static on the radio dial
But I’d walk a thousand miles just to see you smile
Even if it’s hollow, even if it’s blue
I’m a prisoner of the way I’m looking at you.
Pre-Chorus
And the neighbors are watching, let them see the show
I’m high on the feeling of letting you go
But I never do, no, I never do
I’m just spinning in circles, waitin' for you.
Chorus
I’m out of my mind, and I like it here
Drowning in the velvet, washing down the fear
You’re my favorite tragedy, my midnight star
It doesn't matter who you think you are
I’m crazy for the way you break my heart in two
Baby, I’m out of my mind... over you.
Verse 2
Blue ribbons tied around my messy hair
You’re acting like you’re busy, like you just don’t care
But I see the way you look when the lights go low
You’re a king without a kingdom, nowhere to go
So take me to the garden, lay me in the grass
We’re a vintage movie, baby, built to last
In a world of plastic, you’re my chrome and lace
I’m lost in the shadows of your pretty face.
Chorus
I’m out of my mind, and I like it here
Drowning in the velvet, washing down the fear
You’re my favorite tragedy, my midnight star
It doesn't matter who you think you are
I’m crazy for the way you break my heart in two
Baby, I’m out of my mind... over you.
Bridge
(Slow down, voice becomes a breathy whisper)
They say that I’m dramatic, they say I’ve lost my grip
But they’ve never tasted honey on a poison lip
I’m the queen of the lonely, the girl in the veil
Chasing a ship that’s already set sail...
(Guitar swell)
Already set sail!
Chorus
I’m out of my mind, and I like it here
Drowning in the velvet, washing down the fear
You’re my favorite tragedy, my midnight star
It doesn't matter who you think you are
I’m crazy for the way you break my heart in two
Baby, I’m out of my mind... over you.
Outro
(Echoing)
Out of my mind...
Just a sad girl in a summer dress...
Watching the stars...
Thinking you’re the best...
Out of my mind...
