This song is about a girl with undiagnosed mental illness.

I saw you standing staring out my window,
face, can’t decide to laugh or cry with you.
You were so far away I couldn’t reach you,
touch, cold as ice it paralyzed my brain.

Play in your mystic phase and it will hurt you,
just like so many times that I have told you.
Oh, in your mystic phase well it will fold you.

Walls built in your defense they didn’t help you,
pain told my heart just where I stood with you.
I knew all along that you were sorry,
and you knew that I was sorry too.

Play in your mystic phase and it will hurt you,
just like the many times that I had told you.
Whoa, in your mystic phase well it will fold you.
