    On the corner of Main Street
    Just trying to keep it in line
    You say you wanna move on and
    You say I'm falling behind
    Can you read my mind?
    Can you read my mind?
    I never really gave up on
    Breaking out of this two-star town
    I got the green light, I got a little fight
    I'm gonna turn this thing around
    Can you read my mind? (Oooh)
    Can you read my mind? (Oooh)
    The good old days, the honest man
    The restless heart, the Promised Land
    A subtle kiss that no one sees
    A broken wrist and a big trapeze
    Oh, well, I don't mind if you don't mind
    'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
    Before you go, can you read my mind?
    It’s funny how you just break down
    Waiting on some sign
    I pull up to the front of your driveway
    With magic soaking my spine
    Can you read my mind? (Oooh)
    Can you read my mind? (Oooh)
    The teenage queen, the loaded gun
    The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
    A southern drawl, a world unseen
    A city wall and a trampoline
    Oh, well, I don't mind, if you don't mind
    'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
    Before you jump, tell me what you find
    When you read my mind
    Slipping in my faith until I fall
    He never returned that call
    Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
    I wanna breathe that fire again
    She said, "I don't mind, if you don't mind (I don't mind, if you don't mind)
    'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine" (I don't shine if you don't shine)
    Put your back on me, put your back on me (I don't mind, if you don't mind)
    Oh, put your back on me
    Oooh
    The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
    Can you read my mind? (Oooh oooh)

    I like what you do with the harmonies in the chorus, but whoever sang at the beginning, the whole “sounding like you’ve got something stuck in your throat/have a speech impediment where you can’t pronounce your “r”s” is so overdone at this point. Lana Del Ray did it well because that’s her natural voice, and Ben Gibbard even had some of that goin for him and it sounds good because it’s super natural, but please take the time to work on your natural voice. Find your own voice. That style of pronunciation sounds lazy and it’s freaking everywhere. I can tell you have a good voice. So please find your own voice and use it.
