|
If you could read my mind, love
|
What a tale my thoughts would tell
|
Just like an old-time movie
|
Out a ghost from a wishing well
|
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
|
With chains upon my feet
|
You know that ghost is me
|
And I will never be set free
|
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
|
|
|
If I could read your mind, love
|
What a tale your thoughts would tell
|
Just like a paperback novel
|
That kind the drugstores sell
|
When you reach the part
|
Where the heartache comes
|
The hero would be me
|
The heroes often fail
|
You won't read that book again
|
Because the ending's just too hard to take
|
|
|
I'd walk away like a movie star
|
Who gets spurned in a three-way script
|
Enter number two
|
The movie queen to play the scene
|
And bringing all the good things out in me
|
But for now, love, let's be real
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
I never thought I could feel this way
|
And I got to say that I just don't get it
|
I don't know where we went wrong
|
But the feeling's gone
|
And i just can't get it back...
|
|
|
If you could read my mind, love
|
What a tale my thoughts would tell
|
Just like an old-time movie
|
About a ghost from a wishing well
|
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
|
With chains upon my feet
|
Stories always end
|
And if you read between the lines
|
you know that I'm just trying to understand
|
The feelings that you lack
|
|
|
Chorus
|
|
|
If you could read my mind, love...
