I don't know how
I don't know why
My mind is running in circles
I cannot find
I cannot find
A reason to not got psycho

I look at you
You look at me
I feel in my heart
A reason to breathe
A reason a reason to live
A reason to love
The meaning of time
The wings of a dove

The reason to see us grow old
A reason to think, to be bold
In each of us is a heart of gold
Your mind is not completely sold
So grab it before you lose it
While you've got the energy
Let your mind run wild and chase it
Boil your thoughts, you will succeed

There's only one doubt in my mind
But I don't know how to grasp it now
It's secretive and mysterious
And I need your mind of pure genius

I look at you
You look at me
I feel in my heart
A reason to breathe
A reason a reason to live
A reason to love
The meaning of time
The wings of a dove

The reason to see us grow old
A reason to think, to be bold
In each of us is a heart of gold
Your mind is not completely sold
So grab it before you lose it
While you've got the energy
Let your mind run wild and chase it
Boil your thoughts, you will succeed

I need a bridge between the gap
Of reality
To connect the sequence
That reaches morality
I create diversions
From the fact
That link you back to me
That brings you home to me
Without you, there's no me

The reason to see us grow old
A reason to think, to be bold
In each of us is a heart of gold
Your mind is not completely sold
So grab it before you lose it
While you've got the energy
Let your mind run wild and chase it
Boil your thoughts, you will succeed
