If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
´Bout 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 see
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
That kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
The heroes often fail
And 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
Ends up number two
The movie queen to play the scene
A bringing all the good things out in me
But for now, love, let´s be real
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 could tell
Just like an old time movies
´Bout 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
I´ve never thought I could feel this way
And I´ve 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
