Verse 1 I kinda like the way you think It gets me wondering Orderly thoughts move deep inside my brain While yours arrive like lighting strikes and sheets of rain Verse 2 I kinda like the way you speak It keeps me listening My story arc’s a series of straight lines While yours arrives like oceans and the tides Chorus The best laid plans are constellations in the sky Invisible connections between ancient fires They read like maps to those accustomed to connecting dots It’s how I hope to see your thoughts Verse 3 I kinda like the way you hear It’s worth considering If what seems perfectly reasonable to me Will appear to you as a cryptic mystery Double Chorus

(Sno Patrol)
