Jack's Mannequin - My Racing Thoughts Lyrics
She's a black cat
hanging 'round my doorstep
I'll need all day tomorrow
to recover from today
I was boxing with my shadow
It was midnight I was mixed up
When she called to drag the lake
I think I'm running short on inspiration
She's running long on borrowed time
We break with speed
That girl can read my racing thoughts
She asks the questions
I take the floor
She takes her shots
About a forced confession
We break with speed
That girls can read my racing thoughts
My racing thoughts
My racing thoughts
So I'll try to keep her steady now
But steady's not her strong suit
I was raised going to church
But couldn't practice what they preached
So I'm hiring a DJ
For the eve of our destruction
It was midnight I was mixed up
When she found me on the beach
I think I'm running low on inspiration
She's running long on borrowed time
We break with speed
That girl can read my racing thoughts
She asks the questions
I take the floor
She takes her shots
Taught her a lesson
About a forced confession
We break with speed
That girls can read my racing thoughts
My racing thoughts
My racing thoughts

Jack's Mannequin My Racing Thoughts Comments
Does this remind anyone of Dashboard Confessional
I was searching remedy for my racing thought comes here good music ... really helpful
Reminds me of Manic Monday by Bangles.
My raisin thots
who gave you the right
Too bad the band ended
He's my inspiration and is the reason I'm still here today. Andrew is my hero. I just shaved off all my hair and so far have raised over £650 and it's being split between Cancer Research UK and the Dear Jack Foundation because I wanted to say thank you :)
Faith Nadeau How are you today?? Hope you're well
I completely agree.
i saw them play at my college and he straight told us "Feel free to illegally steal my music....just as long as your listening" I LOVE HIM.
Me searching for Jack's Mannequin "My Racing Thoughts" brought me here!
...how did I get here from assassins creed videos?
Nothing brought me here. Oh yeah, the EFFING INTERNET.
the reason we all like Andrews music is that hes not in it for the money! he just makes sure that we can learn something from, and enjoy his music. and this new album as taught me a valuable lesson in life........ that were all lucky at one time or another
I usually dont like this type of music but i like this song a lot
what do you mean?
i brought myself here
I'm glad Jack's Mannequin isnt the MOST popular band ever. I dont think the world is ready to know what music ACTUALLY is.
sounds a lot like tom petty
Am I the only one who thinks of The Fault In Our Stars by John Green when they listen to this?
Does it matter who brought you here? Just enjoy the music...
my love for jack's mannequin and andrew mcmahon brought me here
@joeyzalot SAME I'M GOING THERE TOO!
My cursor brought me here ..
CANT WAIT 2 SEE HIM IN CONCERT IN TWO WEEKS.
Who the french toast is Chimney Swift?
@countingcrows123 He said "I thought he was boxing the stars, not his shadow" or whatever, which i was assuming was a reference to the fact that dark blue has a line that says "boxing the stars" and this song has a line that says "boxing with my shadow" that's why.
@EpsilonX that may have been one of the stupidest things i've read recently. why would that be a silly reference to dark blue?..
It's 8.30 am and I've had slept about 3 hours per night for the last 3 days. Yet somehow listening to this song has infused me with so much energy and made me just want to get up and jump around the room like a crazy person.
This is so far from Something Corporate.
If this is Jack's Mannequin running low on inspiration, I would kill to see what it's like when he gets a rush.
My good taste in music brought me here.
I like this song and new album !
@6for24 LMAO
I dunno this song reminds me of something from Brandon Flowers
This makes me happy I thought he quit making music I've been listening to him since like 4th grade so 5 years ago ((:
@joshcarr789 i think it was just a silly reference to dark blue haha. but good analysis
loving the new album!
@xTheMilkshake Who is Chimney Swift?
Thank you AltNation! <3 This song is AMAZING<3
\/ \/ me agree with the dude below me

The California Raisins should cover this song.
Get it?
chimneyswift11 sent me
I Love Andrew McMahon!!!!!!!!!!! <3.!!!
chimneyswift11 sent me
ive followed andrew for ages and he never lets me down, i love the new sound as much as the old one. just a really nice song. andrew is the king
chimney swift
chimney swift bring me here
minibilal where are you now
@LooseFalcon I would agree with the Bruce feeling this song has
This is a solid reason to why I have Jack's Mannequin lyrics tattooed on my body.
This song is phenomenal.
@sedohrj87 I see the Petty resemblance. This song actually uses the same chord progression as "Learning to Fly".
I dunno whether it's just me, but I hear a little bit of inspiration from Bruce Springsteen in this. Andrew = The Boss 2.0?
OCTOBER 4TH!!!!
i'm kind of iffy about the new songs, but the typography in this video is so awfully mediocre. :/
Jack's Mannequin's back!!!
Comon Oct 4th!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom Petty + Bob Dylan + Dashboard Confessionals = Jack's Mannequin.... so win
<3 this song. . . Can't wait for the album
@imadome563 this is pretty much the only reason I used my phone to figure out who I was hearing on the radio lol. Like Tom Petty + Dashboard Confessionals
Has the sound of Tom Petty, which means it doesnt get any better than that!
It's about time that they got their own channel. <3
Came on the radio today and I almost cried. Love it. :) <3
woohoo ! this was on the radio yesterday in malaysia
@BillyMaysLives Technically he was an Audioboxer before boxing the stars or his shadow...
Wow, I did not think I would like this song that fast, but I stand corrected.
Selling out? WTF? This song is fantastic! This is what good music is about!
October 4th can't come soon enough!
I fucking love you, Andrew.
I'm liking what I'm hearing! Glass Passenger wasn't bad but I missed the upbeat feel that most of Everything in Transit had.
this sounds a lot more like Everything in Transit. didn't care much for the Glass Passenger
didnt care much for glass passenger, but i love leaving through the window, north, everything in transit, and this song.
@setphasers3 we can be :D
@nutters34 Why aren't we best friends?
i think 79,095 of the views are from me alone..
This song refilled my Inspiration.
Happy birthday, Andy. Thank you for the music. Thank you for everything. This new record is going to be epic.
I just saw them last night :D JM played after I passed out on the floor twice. I still managed to suck it up and watch JM ♥ And then he signed my phone case for being a trooper.
@drummerkid1022 I definitely agree. TGP has some great songs but I like EIT more as a whole. It fits together like a story. I'm still a fan of TGP and even the Dear Jack EP but I just don't like them as much.
@Passionized everything in transit was the best. I didn't like TGP as much and I definitely don't like this as much. And your opinion becomes invalid when you accuse someone (smiley face and all) of not having a good ear for music because they don't agree with you.
@jennarara Just curious, but why do you say that? The Glass Passenger has some great songs, as well as Dear Jack EP.
People never understand my love for Andrew and Jack's Mannequin, but I don't care. He is my fucking idol. He gives me hope when I want to die. I love him and all of his music. Thank you so much for being alive because truly there have been times where I probably would have died without you.
DIE HARD JACKS MANNEQUIN FAN.
everything in transit > everything else. disappointed.
they are back! yay! :)
So amped for this album!!!
i always have to listen to his songs a few times fav song by him is def mixed tape
Anything Jack's Mannequin puts out is great.
@MuppetsFan1 i never noticed that before, but now that you mention it i kinda can see it
@ccbc23 I noticed that in The Glass Passenger as opposed to Everything in Transit. I don't know what happened but the vocals on TGP just seemed a little sloppy
I WANT THIS CD NOW.
@MooseOrNothing you can use after effects or even Final Cut Pro. FCP is a little easier to learn. Motion may not be a bad one to try either
not his best work but still, its andrew....bring back SoCo
I don't know, it just seems like the vocals are mehh. He just kinda drags them a bit, and I can't even pin point in, but the vocals just aren't crisp. Still love Jack's though.
@christmas141grimple it's already out on Itunes came out August 2nd
@rcop1 Ditto :)
Sounds like he says "racist thoughts"
@MooseFlakes The colors match what is on the album cover. And that font also happens to be the official Jack's Mannequin font.
@MooseFlakes It's not the official video. Read the title, it's a "lyric video." It's just a visualization of the lyrics, that's it.
Andrew has a way of saying things like no one else can. Jack's Mannequin's music is just so colorful. love itttt, so amazing <3
Why is the video itself so..... poorly made...? I feel like it was made by a kid on windows moviemaker or something: typography was fairly poor, stretched images, stretched text, jilty pans, cruddy transitions, random colors, etc. Love the song, but despise the visuals. (Graphic Designer speaking)
