Love Is Just a State Of Mind

I'll stay with you if you say stay but I must leave you when I must
I'll stay as long as we can last and leave when laughter turns to rust
The day the fireworks fail to flash and mental light refuse to shine
We'll know it's time for someone else for love is just a state of mind

If you can say it like it is and if I like to hear it said
I'll carve your image on my heart and make sure that your soul is fed
But one day the words break step and if one ego lags behind
You column left I'll column right for love is just a state of mind

Keep yourself but give me room I want some place to think aloud
And if you can your chain will reach from ocean floor to shining cloud
When the shackles feel too tight or when restrictions start to blind
It's time to breathe instead of choke for love is just a state of mind

If my words are worry things and if I make your mouth turn down
Then take your apprehensive love and leave me now without a sound
But if you take me as I am and love me one day at a time
I may stay a thousand years for love is just a state of mind
For love is just a state of mind
