| [00:09.41] |
If you could read my mind, love, |
| [00:13.03] |
What a tale my thoughts could tell. |
| [00:16.90] |
Just like an old time movie, |
| [00:20.79] |
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well. |
| [00:24.74] |
In a castle dark or a fortress strong, |
| [00:29.45] |
With chains upon my feet. |
| [00:33.47] |
You know that ghost is me. |
| [00:37.66] |
And I will never be set free |
| [00:41.53] |
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see. |
| [00:50.38] |
If I could read your mind, love, |
| [00:53.84] |
What a tale your thoughts could tell. |
| [00:57.72] |
Just like a paperback novel, |
| [01:01.93] |
The kind the drugstores sell. |
| [01:05.60] |
When you reached the part where the heartaches come, |
| [01:10.70] |
The hero would be me. |
| [01:14.74] |
But heroes often fail, |
| [01:18.63] |
And you won't read that book again |
| [01:22.29] |
Because the ending's just too hard to take! |
| [01:42.77] |
I'd walk away like a movie star |
| [01:47.66] |
Who gets burned in a three way script. |
| [01:51.96] |
Enter number two: |
| [01:55.69] |
A movie queen to play the scene |
| [01:59.41] |
Of bringing all the good things out in me. |
| [02:05.10] |
But for now, love, let's be real; |
| [02:09.61] |
I never thought I could have this way |
| [02:12.96] |
And I've got to say that I just don't get it. |
| [02:17.76] |
I don't know where we went wrong, |
| [02:20.88] |
But the feeling's gone |
| [02:22.89] |
And I just can't get it back. |
| [02:33.87] |
If you could read my mind, love, |
| [02:37.53] |
What a tale my thoughts could tell. |
| [02:41.92] |
Just like an old time movie, |
| [02:45.28] |
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well. |
| [02:49.35] |
In a castle dark or a fortress strong. |
| [02:54.00] |
With chains upon my feet. |
| [02:58.59] |
But stories always end, |
| [03:02.56] |
And if you read between the lines, |
| [03:07.57] |
You'd know that I'm just tryin' to understand |
| [03:12.41] |
The feelin's that you lack. |
| [03:16.23] |
I never thought I could feel this way |
| [03:20.99] |
And I've got to say that I just don't get it. |
| [03:24.48] |
I don't know where we went wrong, |
| [03:27.26] |
But the feelin's gone |
| [03:29.27] |
And I just can't get it back! |
