You don't have to believe every single thought That tumbles through your head Just 'cause it sounds like you talking. Sometimes all you can do Is say goodnight and tuck your demons into bed, 'Cause they're not worth fighting Turn out the lights on your racing mind Turn out the lights on your racing mind You keep a running list Of all your doubts and your dead ends, And when you pull yourself out of bed, You taste them on the tip of your tongue. And in the morning when you're standing in the shower
With the water pouring down, You dwell on all you ever did wrong Turn out the lights on your racing mind. Turn out the lights on your racing mind. What good has ever come of it? What answers will you find? Turn out the lights on your mind Oh, turn out the lights on your mind Turn out the lights on your mind Oh, turn out the lights on your mind You don't have to believe every single thought That tumbles through your head Just 'cause it sounds like you talking
