She said, "I like listening to your brain
Let me take a look at what's inside"
They say, "Tell me everything you wanna say
But only take three minutes of my time"
But it's gonna take a little more than what you want
To sort through everything I've got
In my head, in my head, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, it's gonna take a little more than what you want
To sort through everything I've got
In my head, in my head, oh, oh, oh
Listen to my voice
Will I be worth your time
I'm just background noise
Inside of my own mind
Gonna give you just a look behind my eyes
Gonna give you just a taste of what's inside
In my head, in my head, oh, oh, oh
I know there's something here for me
Do I know just who I wanna be
Filling in the spaces in between
The day they know my name and anonymity
Step back, just stop and let's rewind
My diary in 4/4 time
This beat's got me in my own mind
So much to say, so little time
Listen to my voice
Will I be worth your time
I'm just background noise inside of my own mind
Gonna give you just a look behind my eyes
Gonna give you just a taste of what's inside
In my head, in my head, oh, oh, oh
Tell me, tell me, am I worth your time yet
Tell me, tell me, am I worth a dime yet
Gotta stay in line, cookie-cutter chorus and a typical rhyme
Build it up, break it down, don't lose control
Keep it going, make 'em pay attention now
You got a big head, you got a big mouth
Your head is empty and you got nothing to talk about
You've got a gift but it's not enough
