Corners Of My Mind - Nikka Costa

Meet me in the stillness

Away from all this madness

I’ll give you a piece of me

If you’ll give me a moment

To let you into the corners of my mind

I looked into a stranger

And found my soul waiting there

It hit me like a siren

To see myself everywhere

And I saw that I knew him like the corners of my mind

And like every other soul

You feel the night come on hard & go slow

And life goes on and on and it goes

In the corners of my mind

So shed your skin for me

Let’s pull back the covers

There’s so much about ourselves

We’ve yet to discover

So won’t you let me in to the corners of your mind

We pass on chances with our eyes to the ground

It only takes a minute to see what’s around

But instead we choose to reside in the corners of our minds

So I stand before you now

Faulty but not broken

Fragile like the break of day

And sometimes sad like words unspoken

But I’ll let you in

I’ll let you in to the corners of my mind

And like every other soul

You feel the night come on hard and go slow

And life goes on and on and it goes

In the corners of my mind

The corners of my mind
