[00:04.43]If you could read my mind, love
[00:07.83]What a tale my thoughts could tell
[00:10.88]Just like an old-time movie
[00:14.98]'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
[00:18.97]In a castle dark or a fortress strong
[00:25.67]With chains upon my feet
[00:28.05]You know that ghost is me
[00:31.67]And I will never be set free
[00:36.06]As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see
[00:42.19]If I could read your mind, love
[00:49.30]What a tale your thoughts could tell
[00:52.36]Just like a paperback novel
[00:57.49]The kind the drugstores sell
[01:00.71]When you reach the part where the heartaches come
[01:05.27]The hero would be me
[01:08.56]But heroes often fail
[01:11.90]And you won't read that book again
[01:16.57]Because the ending's just too hard to take
[01:21.44]I'd walk away like a movie star
[01:29.92]Who gets burned in a three-way script
[01:34.09]Enter number two
[01:37.57]A movie queen to play the scene
[01:42.40]Of bringing all the good things out in me
[01:47.28]But for now love, let's be real
[01:51.09]I never thought I could act this way
[01:55.44]And I've got to say that I just don't get it
[02:00.59]I don't know where we went wrong
[02:03.51]But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
[02:08.12]If you could read my mind, love
[02:15.53]What a tale my thoughts could tell
[02:19.72]Just like an old-time movie
[02:23.11]'Bout a ghost from a wishin' well
[02:26.57]In a castle dark or a fortress strong
[02:32.39]With chains upon my feet
[02:35.25]But stories always end
[02:39.30]And if you read between the lines
[02:44.55]You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
[02:48.78]The feelings that you lack
[02:52.67]I never thought I could feel this way
[02:57.63]And I've got to say that I just don't get it
[03:01.77]I don't know where we went wrong
[03:05.62]But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
