Julia Stone - Yellow Brick Road lyrics

[Verse: Angus Stone] Just a spoon full of sugar Makes the medicine go down Sweet Mary-Jane won't you lay me down Lost my heart in California, lost my mind Shot me down with a revolver, got me high Then a heart of gold came on the stereo Mr Young made me cry Then all the colors of the rainbow Fell in my eyes [Hook: Angus Stone] I lost my mind long ago Down that yellow brick road I lost my mind long ago Down that yellow brick road [Post hook: Cee] Yeah I lost my mind, a little while back But I'mma take my time for me to find that The minutes flying and I ain't trying to rewind back It's like I'm dying sometimes so I don't mind that, Yeah I lost my mind, a little while back But I ain't sure if I'm really wanting to find that The minutes flying and I ain't trying to rewind back Tt's like I died a hundred times so I don't mind that [Verse 2: Angus Stone] Took a train to the river Where I drove right in That skinny dippin' girl Made the blue bird sing Fell in love in California, she blew my mind She shot me down with her revolver She got me high Then the weather man came on the radio Said there be sunshine Then all the colors of the rainbow Fell in my mind [Hook: Angus Stone] I lost my mind long ago Down that yellow brick road I lost my mind long ago Down that yellow brick road [Post Hook: Cee] Yeah I lost my mind, a little while back But I'mma take my time for me to find that The minutes flying and I ain't trying to rewind back It's like I'm dying sometimes so I don't mind that Yeah I lost my mind, a little while back But I ain't sure if I'm really wanting to find that The minutes flying and I ain't trying to rewind back It's like I died a million times so I don't mind that [Hook: Angus Stone] I lost my mind long ago Down that yellow brick road I lost my mind long ago Down that yellow brick road [Verse: Cee] I think it's gone for good, my mind disappeared It's feeling kinda normal when I think it should be really weird It's the change that's been marinating inside for years And only now it's coming out just who the f** I really is Most of my life was autopilot I barely remember half the sh** that happened before I had rap around and, Music gave me meaning that nothing else ever did So to hell with everything, I'm finna dedicate my life to this So in turn, my identity it stemmed from rap Everything I did, you best believe it's relating to that At 29 years old, that's more than half my life The only thing that mattered to this kid was a beat and a mic, Across the planet it has taken me and lately I been feeling like I'm going through something of an awakening sh** that mattered then, don't really matter now sh** that happened then, I kinda forgot about And as a kid I always pictured how I'd be When I get older, and whenever I look in the mirror I see him, And I sit and wonder if I'm living up to my potential Am I cruising at a speed that's gonna take me where I need to get to Nothing is ever enough And I know that it's my sense of urgency that's gonna take us to the top But I'm struggling to navigate the negative around Though I'm leading with conviction it's my flaws that bring me down And I'm tired of the stress it brings, lying if I said it stings All the while I'm praying that I never make a mess of things, And I fell in the position that I'm in Then my love for it grew with every lesson coming with it Now I'm rollin' with a focus Game is getting vicious, the crew is ridiculous, I'm unstoppable and I know this But, my personal life is f**ing with me My best friend was lost when we broke up, scars is still visible And even though we making music, in a moment It can go from hella chill to world war three, and it's my fault, I let it happen, wasn't ready for commitment I gave her my twenties, now I think that I'mma relive 'em And yo that's why I'm so damn vibed to get up outta here I need a new me so bad, it's like I'm already there In the end, you can't really blame me A change of scenery is much better than a vacation, And I've been waiting patient, resolve so strong, nothing can break me, yeah Where I'm going, there ain't a ticket that can take me there All I'm doing is putting work in It feels with every step I take, success is the like furthest thing from certain, But I'm a different person, like from another planet And my jeans is getting tighter as my mindstate is expanding So my friends all think I'm weird now, but everybody changes I'm just overdue for something new to put my name to, But I don't really wanna talk about this sh** So the people closest to me learn about it when I spit So consider my mind gone, I lost it long ago down that (down that yellow brick road)
