I let a lie come true

I even cared enough to lie

Recieve what I transmit

And slowly close your eyes

Yeah, to unlock your locked up love

And set it free

You need a complicated key

You need a key as big as me ..

You were almost on my mind

Yeah, and though I'm doing just fine

I've hurt myself in many ways

Back in nineteenhundredandyesterday

Yeah, I think of you every time

Every time I leave it behind -

Back in nineteenhundredandyesterday

And when I lie in bed

And I'm going through the day

What's been done and said

It slips into my head

You open up one door

And then you're faced with many more

Yeah, I know all of them well

I keep my questions to myself

You were almost on my mind ...

Hey, I thought I wanted it

I thought I needed it

To unlock your locked up love

You left the key and then you walked off

You were almost on my mind ...
