Jesse Dayton - If You Could Read My Mind Lyrics

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 wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
Well you know that ghost ain't me

If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the old drugstore sells
And when you reach the part where the heartaches come
And the hero would be me
Aww, but heroes often fail
But you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take

And I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three-way script
Oh, enter number two
A movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now, love let's be real
I never knew I'd feel this way
And 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 all my thoughts could tell
Just like an old-time movie
About a ghost from a wishin' well
Or a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
The story always ends
If you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
Oh, the feeling that you left
I 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

If you could read your mind, love mmh
