Joe Andrews - My Beautiful Mind

Save your breath if you need to speak, don't waste words on me
My sights are always drawn
Spill my heart but remain the freak, a face they only see
When strangers need a pawn
Just a friend that you seldom need, a one-way devotee
My arms have long been tied
Fight the doubt and pretend to be the golden guarantee
I knew would leave my peace to die
But you can't wreck my beautiful mind

Yeah, I think a bit too much
And I eat my words, I've got no touch
But I'll take you dancing while you're dying in my arms
When fears alight, I'll take you home
And just say goodnight, then sleep alone
But still take you dancing while you're dying in my arms
Welcome to my beautiful mind
Take a tour if you've got the time I do

Stirred the laughs and was well received, my chest far from reprieved
'Til I replay the score
Hear the praise, but I won't believe, I'd rather be deceived
Than let my pride explore
Bite my tongue when I disagree, it's best to act naive
Than shine a filthy light
Butterflies never float with me, I'm too calm for the bees
I dream up Hollywood goodbyes
But you can't wreck my beautiful mind

Yeah, I think a bit too much
And I eat my words, I've got no touch
But I'll take you dancing while you're dying in my arms
When fears alight, I'll take you home
And just say goodnight, then sleep alone
But still take you dancing while you're dying in my arms
Welcome to my beautiful mind
Take a tour if you've got the time I

Take me back to grade one, give my dreams the shotgun
Showed 'em how to whip it, now I can't seem to outrun
Everything my life could throw away
Just another promise gone astray
I'd be a better grandson, give my time to someone
Who deserves a lover, not a soul coming undone
Why you gonna throw it all away?
Think of what the girls are gonna say

Think of me when you're half asleep, brainwaves far at sea
Let's swim against the tide
I was told that you're never free, that life's no cup of tea
But now it's clear the poets lied
'Cause you can't wreck my beautiful mind

Yeah, I think a bit too much
And I eat my words, I've got no touch
But I'll take you dancing while you're dying in my arms
When fears alight, I'll take you home
And just say goodnight, then sleep alone
But still take you dancing while you're dying in my arms
Welcome to my beautiful mind
Take a tour if you've got the time I do
