Late last night I lost track of time
And I know I was waiting for the sun to rise.
These summer days
They keep stretching on
As our friend's in and out of town and tide.
We spent all night
Hoping for nice things
We should have known
We don't need nice things
What's that? Don't know your way back home?
You want to know why?
All this time when you read my mind
You read my mind
All those thoughts that I knew you'd find
I hid between the lines.
We could dress for anywhere else
It's been a long, long time
Since your kingdom fell.
But I can hear something over these engines
It sounds like ghosts in the back seat of your car
It sounds like the mystery in our skin
Just to steal away again.
All this time when you read my mind
You read my mind
All those thoughts that I knew you'd find
I hid between the lines.
All this time when you read my mind
You read my mind
Those countries where we could have been
I left them all behind.
Why would you bother the hurt you're among?
When all that you needed was here all along?
All this time when you read my mind
You read my mind
All those thoughts that I knew you'd find
I hid between the lines.
All this time when you read my mind
You read my mind
Those countries where we could have been
We left them all behind.
