Mind Trick
Jamie Cullum- Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I missed the opportunity
To get you babe to stay with me.
Never thought, I'd regret the excuses that I've made
Like a song, it will fade

If there's music in the night,
And it's really, really right,
It's the only thing I need.
It intoxicates your mind
All your troubles left behind
So come on and take my lead.
It's not just me who feels it
Music plays a mind trick
Watch me forget about missing you

So I put my feelings out to dry
Love, one day again,
I'll have to try.
Falling out, making up
It seems such a silly game
Why do I never gain?

If there's music in the night,
And it's really, really right,
It's the only thing I need.
It intoxicates your mind
All your troubles left behind
So come on and take my lead.
It's not just me who feels it
Music plays a mind trick
Watch me forget about missing you

Na na na's

If there's music in the night,
And it's really, really right,
It's the only thing I need.
It intoxicates your mind
All your troubles left behind
So come on and take my lead.
It's not just me who feels it




Music plays a mind trick
Watch me forget about missing you

I missed the opportunity
I regret not keeping you with me when I had the chance.


To get you babe to stay with me.
To make you stay with me, my love.


Never thought, I'd regret the excuses that I've made
I never imagined that I would regret the reasons I gave to avoid being with you.


Like a song, it will fade
Just like a melody that slowly fades away, so did our love.


If there's music in the night,
When there is a tune playing at night,


And it's really, really right,
And it sounds so perfect and true,


It's the only thing I need.
That music is all I crave.


It intoxicates your mind
It captures your thoughts and emotions completely,


All your troubles left behind
Leaving behind all worries,

So come along with me, let me be your guide.


It's not just me who feels it
I'm not the only one who senses its power,


Music plays a mind trick
Music has a way of affecting the mind profoundly,


Watch me forget about missing you
Observe as I detach myself from thoughts of you.


So I put my feelings out to dry
I am airing my emotions and allowing them to be exposed.


Love, one day again,
Love, someday in the future,


I'll have to try.
I will have to make an attempt.


Falling out, making up
Fights and reconciliations,


It seems such a silly game
It seems like a meaningless activity.


Why do I never gain?
Why do I never benefit?

Eu perdi a oportunidade

De fazer com que você ficasse comigo

Nunca pensei que me arrependeria das desculpas que eu dei

Como uma música, elas desaparecerão


Se existe música na noite

E está muito, muito certo

É a única coisa de que preciso

Intoxica a sua mente

Todos os seus problemas são deixados para trás

Então venha e me acompanhe

Não sou só eu que sinto

A música prega uma peça na mente

Veja-me esquecer que sinto sua falta


Então, coloquei meus sentimentos pra secar

Amor, um dia de novo

Terei que tentar

Brigas, reconciliação

Parece um jogo tão bobo

Por que eu nunca ganho?


Se existe música na noite

E está muito, muito certo

É a única coisa de que preciso

Intoxica a sua mente

Todos os seus problemas são deixados para trás

Então venha e me acompanhe

Não sou só eu que sinto

A música prega uma peça na mente

Veja-me esquecer que sinto sua falta


Na na na's


Se existe música na noite

E está muito, muito certo

É a única coisa de que preciso

Intoxica a sua mente

Todos os seus problemas são deixados para trás

Então venha e me acompanhe

Não sou só eu que sinto

A música prega uma peça na mente

Veja-me esquecer que sinto sua falta
