Sidetracked

I have a thousand thoughts at a time I'm not sure where my mind's at
My heart likes to visit the places it was declined at
Thinking about the past but I can't get my time back
I don't know why but I'm so easily sidetracked

Short attention span, it's hard for me to stay focused
I try and pay attention, but usually it's hopeless
I need something from the shop, but I'll leave it till later
Hundreds of rhymes in my head, but I think they'll magically appear on the paper

I like this girl I'm so sure
But my whole life I've liked girls, then as soon as I get with them I don't want them no more
My head goes from A to K to F to X just to get to B
I don't know what's wrong with me

Am I crazy? Do I need help?
Is it my Bipolar? Or anxiety? Or is it something else?
I have too many thoughts at the same time
I wish I had someone else's mind

I have a thousand thoughts at a time I'm not sure where my mind's at
My heart likes to visit the places it was declined at
Thinking about the past but I can't get my time back
I don't know why but I'm so easily sidetracked
