Out of My Mind
FEiN & Lara Johnston: wake up without you, cold sheets and too much coffee: get out of my mind; green eyes, memories paralyzed, heart slipping back in time.
FEiN & Lara Johnston unreleased collaboration (Walton/Woodward co-write with Lara Johnston). SoundCloud. Walton toured as guitarist/vocalist with Lara Johnston (Doobie Brothers, Gregg Allman) before production work together. Not on Little Homes; a FEiN collab alongside Boomerang and Marry You On the Dance Floor. Released feature: Remember Us (Embody / Armada).
A morning-after ballad built on domestic residue: cold sheets, brush my teeth lonely, the coffee made for two. The pre-chorus accepts the ending but not the manner of it (maybe we were bound to break / but not like this), which is the whole tension the chorus keeps circling.
The hook is a stuck loop. My heart keeps slipping back in time, no matter what I do, and the title command (get out of my mind) repeats because it never works. The bridge names the trap as paralysis and envy, memories keep me paralyzed, the ex moving on while the narrator can’t. Pairs with Boomerang (long-distance motion) and Roadtrip (doesn’t really matter): a FEiN pop ballad outside the Little Homes satire lane.
Written by Luke Francis Walton and Brandon Michael Woodward (FEiN), with Lara Johnston. Unreleased collaboration.
Lyrics
Wake up, To another day. It's a familiar place, but (I t's not the same without you. ) Cold sheets, Brush my teeth lonely Made too much coffee. ( It's not the same without you. ) If I'm being honest, Honey I'm a mess without you here. Maybe we were bound to break, But not like this. Why am I holding on to you? My heart keeps slipping back in time, No matter what I do. Get out of my mind, Out of my mind. Get out of my mind, Out of my mind. Each day, Is a blur behind me, Since you're not beside me. I keep thinking bout you. Green eyes Full of mischief crazy, But somehow you saved me. I keep thinking bout you. Some nights remember walking with you, Talking bout our dreams. We knew growin ' up would hurt, But not like this. Why am I holding on to you? My heart keeps slipping back in time, No matter what I do. Get out of my mind, Out of my mind. Get out of my mind, Out of my mind. Memories keep me paralyzed Can't go nowhere, Got nowhere to go. Are you happy moving on, Cuz it's too much for me to take. Why am I holding on to you? My heart keeps slipping back in time, No matter what I do. Get out of my mind, Out of my mind. Get out of my mind, Out of my mind. Get out of my mind, Out of my mind. Get out of my mind, Out of my mind.
