If you just get it together and read my mind
Then sleeping would be easy
And then I'll be there to acquiesce
I confess I'm in trouble

Another afternoon of increments
And asking the wrong questions
Then you get up and leave again
Just as the evening threatens to set

Consider this now it's not too late
I have watched you change
The colour of the trap
Before, girl, I have learned to wait

Most of the things that you say I don't understand 
But I will sit and listen
I nod along attentively
But the truth is I can't concentrate

Consider this now it's not too late
I have watched you change
The colour of the trap
Before, girl, I have learned to wait, make no mistake

I have learned to wait and learned you can make me
I need something to sort me out
I need someone to come and shake me
And your exit calms me down
Before it infuriates me
Girl, I'm in trouble
Wish you'd just get it together and read my mind
