Mind Like Yours

The thing about dreaming is you have to go it alone You fall asleep and find yourself deep in the real depths of your soul Elaborate on the good times Scary thoughts take hold The hardest thing about dreaming is you have to go it alone It lives somewhere within us we all want it to go Keeps you on the beaten path like a weight on your back it won't let you get too bold It grows well in excuses In good times it just endures It finds the best nourishment in self critical minds like yours Too many boys that were no damn good too many reasons for giving up Give it an inch and it'll take a mile if it takes a hold it'll take your smile Give it time and it'll take it away give it a reason to make you stay Half a chance and it'll have a good time doubting on yourself for your whole life The fake friends and failed romances gave it strength to take control Your broke down jeep that one bad week gave it reason to come home Give you a break when you hit the big time You get big headed if you've been bad You can never choose but if you win or lose it'll be there to see you crash Too many boys that were no damn good too many reasons for giving up Give it an inch and it'll take a mile if it takes a hold it'll take your smile Give it time and it'll take it away give it a reason to make you stay Half a chance and it'll have a good time doubting on yourself for your whole life It knocked you back when you come unstuck all you ever really wanted was love You've got a hell of a sparkle when you look in your eyes Don't you go believing the world's lies A force to reckon with at seventeen the biggest dreamer I'd ever seen You've got the work and the will to fight your cause Don't let a mind like yours make it a loss Too many boys that were no damn good too many reasons for giving up Give it an inch and it'll take a mile if it takes a hold it'll take your smile Give it time and it'll take it away give it a reason to make you stay Half a chance and it'll have a good time doubting on yourself for your whole life
