Matt Mahaffey on the story behind “What Are You Thinking?”:
That’s about a traumatic relationship. I was still dating the girl when I wrote it. It was basically telling her I was gonna break up with her, that I couldn’t stand her anymore. I played it for her and instead of having an opinion about t...
[Verse 1]
Rang her phone and then picked her up
Watched TV cause she's the late queen
Post-traumatic shock set in
Telling her to cancel the evening
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Like an American car
We're proud to be driving, we put all the miles in
Ending up where we are
In the middle of silence, beckoning violence
[Chorus]
I believed that I could never use you up
Do you agree?
Of all the things that I find so unusual
What are you thinking?
[Verse 2]
And so I slapped the face of love
Clenched fists always seemed to say the right things
First let me up, then take me home
So much for talk and compromising
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And when you humor me that everything's roses
I know where the truth is
And while you're flaunting your planetary halo
I'm watching your nose grow
[Chorus]
I believed that I could never use you up
Do you agree?
Of all the things that I find so unusual
What are you thinking?
[Bridge]
Where you going with that head full of anguish and suspense?
Lately I've come to find the silence stifling
Won't you stop this crazy tale of one man struggling to prevail
Over the evils of the world
[Outro]
Wait, I'm not down just yet
I've got mountains of regret and my sorrow fills an ocean
Wait, I'm not down just yet
I've got mountains of regret and my sorrow fills an ocean
Wait, I'm not down just yet
I've got mountains of regret and my sorrow fills an ocean
Wait, I'm not down just yet
I've got mountains of regret and my sorrow fills an ocean
Wait, I'm not down just yet
I've got mountains of regret and my sorrow fills an ocean
Wait, I'm not down just yet
I've got mountains of regret and my sorrow fills an ocean
Wait, I'm not down just yet
I've got mountains of regret and my sorrow fills an ocean
Wait, I'm not down just yet
I've got mountains of regret and my sorrow fills an ocean
And my sorrow fills an ocean
And my sorrow fills an ocean
And my sorrow fills an ocean
And my sorrow fills an ocean
