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 our mysteries in 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 herd 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.
All those thoughts that I knew you'd find,
I hid between the lines.
Those countries where we could have been,
we left them all behind.
