If You Could Read My Mind

[00:08.83] If you could read my mind, love
[00:12.37] What a tale my thoughts could tell
[00:16.38] Just like an old time movie
[00:19.75] 'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
[00:24.16] In a castle dark or a fortress strong
[00:28.86] With chains upon my feet
[00:32.95] You know that ghost is me
[00:37.06] And I will never be set free
[00:40.82] As long as I'm a ghost you can't see
[00:46.25]
[00:49.99] If I could read your mind, love
[00:53.33] What a tale your thoughts could tell
[00:57.25] Just like a paperback novel
[01:00.84] The kind the drugstores sell
[01:04.88] When you reach the part
[01:07.53] Where the heartaches come
[01:10.23] The hero would be me
[01:14.25] Heroes often fail
[01:18.10] And you won't read that book again
[01:21.89] Because the ending's just too hard to take
[01:27.77]
[01:42.37] I'd walk away, like a movie star
[01:47.22] Who gets burned in a three way script
[01:51.43] Enter number two
[01:55.32] A movie queen to play the scene
[01:59.01] Of bringing all the good things out in me
[02:05.09] But for now love, let's be real
[02:09.21] I never thought I could act this way
[02:12.73] And I've got to say that I just don't get it
[02:17.78] I don't know where we went wrong
[02:20.75] But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
[02:26.27]
[02:33.82] If you could read my mind, love
[02:37.42] What a tale my thoughts could tell
[02:41.88] Just like an old time movie
[02:45.29] 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
[02:49.20] In a castle dark or a fortress strong
[02:53.93] With chains upon my feet
[02:58.16] The story always ends
[03:02.26] If you read between the lines
[03:05.79] You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
[03:11.62] The feeling that you lack
[03:15.68] I never thought I could feel this way
[03:19.48] And I've got to say that I just don't get it
[03:24.36] I don't know where we went wrong
[03:27.43] But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
[03:31.18]
