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
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost 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 that drugstores sell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take
I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
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 thought I could act 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 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
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand
The feeling's that you lack
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

THIS IS A GREAT SONG SO I'M REALLY SURPRISED I'M THE 1ST PERSON TO
COMMENT ON IT.
BEING EMOTIONALLY MOVED BY MUSIC FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I'LL
ALWAYS REMEMBER HAVING A "CRUSH" ON SOMEONE(MY 2ND GRADE TEACHER) AND SOMEHOW FEELING IT WAS "UNFAIR" SINCE SHE(OBVIOUSLY) COULDN'T "READ MY MIND",AND THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ANYTHING I COULD SAY OR DO TO GET THE POINT ACROSS. SEE, BEING BROUGHT UP IN A STRICT CATHOLIC FAMILY, I WAS CLUELESS ON HOW, WHEN,AND,WHERE,PEOPLE WOULD,SHOULD,OR, COULD, EXPRESS SUCH FEELINGS OF LOVE, CARE,AND/OR CONCERN FOR ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.
ANYWAY,YOU COULD LOOK AT THIS SITUATION AS BEING SAD OR FUNNY, BUT, THAT EXPERIENCE IS RECORDED IN MY MIND AND,REPLAYS WHENEVER,THOUGH VERY SELDOM, THIS SONG IS BROADCAST. | | 11-02-2007 15:06 Friidoliin |
