State Of Mind
Wave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up from a dream last night
I was dancin' in the shadows
Blinded by the moonlight
Shinin' in my eyes

Well I don't ever wanna leave
Wanna stay until forever
I just can't believe

Its a state of mind, I'm a step behind
but I'm catchin' up to you
It's a state of love that I'm thinkin' of and
I'm catchin' up to you
It's a state of mind I'm a step behind but
I'm catchin' up to you

It makes me feel so high
I'll just spread my wings and fly

California afternoon
Starin' at the ocean
Reflections of the sunlight
Through your blond hair

I don't ever wanna be
Anywhere but right here
Baby, I just feel so free

It's a state of mind I'm a step behind but
I'm catchin' up to you
It's a state of love that I'm thinkin' of and
I'm catchin' up to you
It's state of mindI'm a step behind but
I'm catchin' up to you

And it makes me feel so high
I'll just spread my wings and fly

Fly so high
I never wanna come back down, oh no
Let's just fly

I woke up from a dream last night
I was dancing in the shadows
Blinded by the moonlight
Shining in my eyes

Well I don't ever wanna leave
Wanna stay until forever
oo baby, won't you stay with me

It's a state of mind I'm a step behind but
I'm catchin' up to you
State of love that I'm thinkin' of and
I'm catchin' up to you
It's a state of mind I'm a step behind but
I'm catchin' up to you

It makes me feel so high

It's state of mind I'm a step behind but
I'm catchin' up to you
It's a state of love that I'm thinkin' of and
I'm catchin' up to you
It's state of mind I'm a step behind but
I'm catchin' up to you

And it makes me feel so high
Yeah it makes me feel so high




But it makes me feel so high
I'll just spread my wings and fly
