Open Mind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I will throw myself
Underneath the wheels of any train of thought
Running off the rails
I'll sail you through the roadways of your brain
If i could bring a light to shine
Upon the dark and disobey
The night so young but i still say
We're too old for cliches
Oh i can only dream
Of the dreams we'd share
If you were so inclined
I would love to be the one
To open up your mind
I could base my whole existence
Upon the cherry-strands of your gold hair
Courtesy of
I would ask, almost insist
Upon treating you kind and fair
Oh i can only dream of the dreams we'd have,
How our hearts would be entwined
If you would let me be the one
To open up your mind
I'd still be myself
Beneath the banks unbroken beside the stream
Ready to return your thoughts unlearned
So it goes, so it seems
Oh i can only dream of the dreams
We'd share if you weren't so defined
I would love to be the one to open up your mind
If you would let me be the one to open up your mind
