Psychology is the study of the mind, occurring partly via the study of behavior. Grounded in scientific method, psychology has the immediate goal of understanding individuals and groups by both establishing general principles and researching specific cases, and for many it ultimately aims to benefit society. In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist, and can be classified as a social scientist, behavioral scientist, or cognitive scientist. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and neurobiological processes that underlie certain cognitive functions and behaviors.
Psychologists explore such concepts as perception, cognition, attention, emotion, phenomenology, motivation, brain functioning, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships. Psychologists of diverse stripes also consider the unconscious mind. Psychologists employ empirical methods to infer causal and correlational relationships between psychosocial variables. In addition, or in opposition, to employing empirical and deductive methods, some—especially clinical and counseling psychologists—at times rely upon symbolic interpretation and other inductive techniques. Psychology incorporates research from the social and natural sciences, and from the humanities, such as philosophy.
There are a lot of things you never say
I read between the lines
I admit at times I've been unclear
I'm coming clean
This time next year
They say the more you love
The less you know
And there are places we should never go
And things I should not have to know about
Call it in the air
Stop pretending like you care
Just take it all
Or leave it there
But just call it in the air
We were stuck together
Like two kids caught in a fire
We were stubborn
Or too stupid
Or too scared
To get out
So what can I say?
What can I say?
I can't think of one good reason
To get up and walk away
Call it in the air
Stop pretending like you care
Just take it all
Or leave it there
But just call it in the air
You're so in love
But can't commit
You're so in love
But can't commit
Call it in the air
Stop pretending like you care
Just take it all
Or leave it there
But just call it in the air
