Description
It smells like the sun, which got a little overheated at work, and the moon, which got too carried away with self-analysis. Between them is a person in a suspended state: it seems like they are flying, but their wings are on strings. He demands nothing, is surprised by everything, and is generally just chillin'. The world spins on its own, and here they are simply learning to be. No morals, no gods, no imposed meanings. A little dirt under the fingernails, a little light under the skin - and that's enough to feel like part of something huge. Or at least not so lonely in this giant canvas.
Lyrics and translation
Original
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
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, yeah
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be you
But heroes often fail
I never thought I 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 my mind
If you could
If you could
If you could read my mind
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 wishing well
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be you
But heroes often fail
I never thought I 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
If you could
If you could read my mind
If you could
If you could
If you could read my mind
