Song Description

Are you one who can't help but give advice, even when not wanted?

Lyrics

Verse 1
I must confess I don't care if you take my advice
As long as you let me give it to you that will suffice
I know I should stop right now,
I know I'm paying friendships' price
You know I can't help it; it's both my virtue and my vice

Chorus 1
I'm no ordinary visionary, my hindsight's 20-20
I can tell you tomorrow
what you did wrong today
I'm no ordinary visionary, if you read between my lines, you'll see
The advice I give to everyone else is really meant for me

Verse 2
The more advice I give you, the more you resent me
At the end of the day, I turn all my friends against me
But the advice I give to you is helping me through my blues
Isn't it ironic that my own tonic is helping me more than you

Chorus 2
If you meet no ordinary visionary
let him talk til' he's blue in the face
Because he needs the ear of someone dear and the difference he sometimes makes
I'm a projector, a real dejector, I can really bring you down
My advice is like a life preserver the kind that lets you drown

Bridge
Let me save you,
so you can save me
Let me save you,
then you can save me

Verse 3
I just hate to see you screw things up so badly
It's not for nothing,
it's cause I love you madly
Whoops, I didn't mean to say that to you just right now
Love has a way of making you say things anyhow

Chorus 3
Because I'm no ordinary visionary, my hindsight's 20-20
I can tell you tomorrow what you did wrong today
At the end of the day, my confidence sways like the bobble-headed man I am
But I hope you can find it in your heart to listen before you condemn
I'm no ordinary visionary..
I'm no ordinary visionary..
