Peace Of Mind
Young and Plain Lyrics

You know it takes a long, long time
Reaching a state of contentment or finding a solution to a situation can take an extended period of time.

You love her so and still you know That you will never want to let her go Unless you leave her first Then you come out on top But, still there's just one thing You haven't got
Although you have feelings of affection towards her, there is a sense of unease that comes with being in a committed relationship. You may contemplate leaving her to preserve yourself, but even then, you’ll still feel like you're missing something.

Peace of mind Like when you treated her kind It's hard to face that open space
The comfort and serenity that comes from treating others with kindness and respect is something to strive for. However, acknowledging that you may not have always acted in a way that was beneficial to your relationship can be difficult to confront.

When first you gave and shared your soul Showed her all those things that take their toll She knows your weak spot But, she still gets you hot And so you do it again Reveal what lies within And go for peace of mind
In the beginning, you were willing to be vulnerable and reveal aspects of yourself to her that may be emotionally taxing to share. Even though she knows how to push your buttons, you continue to reveal who you are with the hope of feeling content in the relationship.

You're lookin' for peace of mind Anywhere you can find Still searchin' for peace of mind
You are actively seeking a sense of tranquility and satisfaction but feel as though you haven't found it yet. Despite your efforts to find it in your relationship or elsewhere, you still feel unfulfilled.

You know it takes a long, long time You know it takes a long, long time You know it takes a long, long time You know it takes a long, long time You know it takes a long, long time
Emphasizing the point that achieving peace of mind takes patience and persistence, and it won't come quickly or easily.
