Song Description
"What I Had in Mind" is a song about a young man being unlucky about getting lucky. The song is a combination of both pop-rock from the 60's with a little country twist. I added a couple drones in both the verse and chorus to give it a slight A/C flavor

Lyrics
"What I Had in Mind"
Verse:
I saw her in the doorway.
She was taking a look at me.
I think she had a message
Like the one I want to believe.
I think I understand this.
I think I know what she implies.
I want to leave an impression
I want to be her subliminal guy.
Chorus:
I know for me this doesn't happen all the time.
And coming out to share a couple glances
Is not what I had in mind.
Verse:
So what should I do now?
What is this all about?
This indirect method is the
Part I cannot figure out.
Now I'm looking to my friends,
I'd like to hear what they'd advise.
I'd like to know a little more
In case that something weird should arise.
Chorus:
Leading me on with all your looks is very fine.
But getting to a little bit more action
Is more what I have in mind.
Verse:
With her I start a conversation
And I thought that things were going fine.
But I could tell from her expression
That I must have crossed over a line.
So I walked back to my table.
And what a fine sight to see.
All the time I'm looking down,
My friends of course are laughing at me.
Chorus:
This seems to happen to me almost every time.
We all know that leaving here alone was...
Not what I had in mind.
