Mind Games

And do you think it would be better
If I took you by surprise?
And do you think you would feel happier
If I lived inside a disguise?

Your love, it dances like a sunbeam
Your stare, it makes the oceans cry
And when it seems as though we’re sailing
I hear thunder in the sky

You say it’s all up inside my mind
But I think I’m doing just fine

Catch your heart before it breaks
‘Cause when it breaks you’ll be alone
Through the window he comes
with thunder and rain
Tells you a story you’ve always known

Wipe your tears before you wash away
Maybe then you’ll see some light of day
Through the soil I can hear you say
That you can’t sleep through the night

I guess it’s all up inside your mind
On track now can’t get behind
Life is short gotta save my time
I guess it’s all up inside your mind
I’ll catch up when I see the sign
If your love doesn’t make me blind

And I told you that line,
told you I’m feeling fine
And I prayed for you, for me,
but then you go away
And I told you every secret that I know
So I guess it’s up inside your mind
