Misadventures In My Mind

from Misadventures by Candace Griffin

/

about

I wrote this after finding a burst of confidence. I feel it perfectly summed everything up. Be bold. Take chances!

lyrics

Never was a reckless type. Well behaved but unsatisfied.
I always had a foolish heart and misadventures in my mind.
Played it cool when face to face. Hid disappointment with a smile.
Ran away to fall apart. Kept it safe all in my mind.

Now I find, the only days I felt alive were the ones I didn't think I'd survive.

I wanna mess something up, let myself fall in love
Take a chance, be the kinda girl I never was
Maybe I'll get it this time. All it takes is crossing a line.
One day my dreams won't just be all in my mind.

I think I'll take a chance on life, do what it takes to be satisfied.
Listen to my foolish heart, liven up my state of mind.
Need to start my fall from grace, make it all feel worthwhile.
Then I'll find a way to part from misadventures in my mind.

I realize, the moments you feel most alive are the ones you don't believe you'll survive.

I wanna mess something up, let myself fall in love
Take a chance, be the kinda girl I never was
Maybe I'll get it this time. All it takes is crossing a line.
One day my dreams won't just be all in my mind.

I can't let any more time slip by. If I keep it inside, I don't believe I'll survive.
I wanna mess something up. Won't be afraid like I was.

I wanna mess something up, let myself fall in love
Take a chance, be the kinda girl I never was
Maybe I'll get it this time. All it takes is crossing a line.
One day my dreams won't just be all in my mind.

"Alternative and folky, Candace Griffin's music comes straight from the heart. As a songwriter, she takes inspiration from the life around her, and with honest words and acoustic-driven emotions, she puts her listeners right in the moment. You'll think the songs were written just for you." (Bio by Caitlin Wildhagen) ... more
