What I Had in Mind - The Wild Reeds

What happens when your safe place leaves?

What happens when the one you trust won’t hear your plea?

What happens when your daydreams end?

You lose all the comfort you’d invested in

I dream that someday I’ll find the peace I need

It seems that my nightmares always end with these things

And I try to block it out, but I won’t forget the fall

What happens when your lover’s gone?

What happens when it don’t go just the way you thought?

What happens when the mat’s pulled out?

You’re falling and you don’t know how to face a crowd

What a shock, what a scare

Two nights ago I was holding your hand

What a crack, what a joke

Don’t know if I should pat you on the back or watch you go

And I try to block it out, but I won’t forget the fall

This is not what I had in mind when I told you I’d be by your side

No, this is not what I had in mind when I told you I would always try

No, this is not what I had meant when I asked you if you’d be my man

This is not what I had planned when I told you I’d be your woman

Oh no no, no no no

I wanted you so

My hope was strong but overpowered

By a boy whose faith was swallowed by his doubt
