[Verse 1]

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?

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

Why would you bother the herd you're among?

When all that you needed was here all along?

[Chorus]

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 countries where we could have been, we left them all behind
