Lyrics:

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old-time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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't see

If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstores sell

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When you reach the part, where the heartaches come
The hero would be me, the hero often fails

And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I'll walk away, like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three-way script, enter number two

A movie queen to play the scene
Are bringing all the good things out in me

[Post-Chorus 3]
But for now love, let's be real

[Bridge 1]
I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say, 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 movie
About a ghost from a wishing well

[Pre-Chorus 4]
In a castle dark, or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
The story always ends

If you could read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand

[Post-Chorus 4]
The feelings that you lack

[Bridge 2]
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
The feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back
