Conditions (I Don't Mind)

Did you ever ask me?
No, you never asked me
cause I was there before you knew you
had to ask me

Did you ever let me?
Yeah, you always let me
cause I was there before you knew you
had to let me

I don't mind watching you in my mind
As long as you follow
These conditions

As long as you mean to
As long as you give me those eyes
every once in a while
I don't mind
I don't mind
As long as you mean to
As long as you thank me for being there
from time to time
I don't mind

Did you ever fall down?
No, you never fell down
cause I was always there to catch you
before you fell down

And did you ever break down?
No, you never broke down
cause I was there to console you
before you broke down
Every time around

I don't mind watching you in my mind
As long as you follow
These conditions

As long as you mean to
As long as you give me those eyes
every once in a while
I don't mind
I don't mind
As long as you mean to
As long as you thank me for being there
from time to time
I don't mind

  4. I agree, if I was to sit down thinking, "now I'm going to write a brilliant song", nothing would come out of it (except maybe a really crappy song). It's those moments when we're open and not narrow-minded that things like these happen :D

    You really got me there, that's exactly what it's about... it's like, I don't mind being there for other people, just as long as they thank me for it, you know? Well, I guess that's not entirely true :P
