The Telepath
Unlocking Love's Enigma: The Telepathic Yearning
Lyrics
I like to think you lie awake at night
I believe you stay awake at night
Thinking of me like I tend think of you
Thinking about me as I often think of you
And I like to think you worry I'm out of your league
I imagine you fear I'm out of your league
Like I tend to worry you're out of mine
Similar to my worry that you're beyond my reach
But I can't read your mind
Unable to perceive your thoughts
And I worry that I
I'm concerned that I
I'm all alone thinking this
Feel isolated thinking these thoughts
That you aren't up at three,
Speculating that you aren't awake at 3 AM
Thinking of me
Contemplating about me
Even though from then until noon
Despite that, from 3 AM until noon
I think of you
I'm thinking of you
Eyes like the moon and hair in the breeze
Describing your eyes and hair poetically
I imagine the way that you'd hold me
Envisioning how you might hold me
Dancing 'til dawn, no one else to be seen
Imagining a night of exclusive dancing
I can't wait to be your lady
Anticipating becoming your significant other
But only if I
Conditioned on my ability to
Could read your damn mind
Read your mind
Maybe then these dreams could be true
Suggesting that understanding your thoughts could make dreams real
It's not that I'm doubting
Expressing not doubting, but
I wouldn't mind if you don't feel the way I'm falling
Indifferent if feelings don't reciprocate
But that's not me
Clarifying this isn't me
That's not my mind
Asserting these aren't my thoughts
That shouldn't be how I spend my precious time
Stating time shouldn't be spent this way
I wouldn't leave the lights on
Committing to turning off the lights
We could just dance to the chants of Sinatra in the air
Suggesting an alternative of dancing to Sinatra
Pull my hair
Invoking a more intimate scenario
Tell me all of that is fair
Seeking assurance that this is fair
Oh I wish I could read your mind
Expressing a desire to read your mind
So at the end of it all I'd find
Hoping for clarity at the end
The answer to our banter
Seeking answers to banter and standards
And the grander of your standards
Referring to the essence of your expectations
But that's ok
Accepting the uncertainty
Cause you say its true, so it must be right?
Raising a question about truth
Eyes like the moon and hair in the breeze
Repeating the description of eyes and hair
I imagine the way that you'd hold me
Reiterating the vision of being held
Dancing till dawn, no one else to be seen
Reimagining a night of exclusive dancing
I can't wait to be your lady
Restating the anticipation of becoming a partner
But only if I
Conditioned on the ability to
Could read your damn mind
Read your mind
Maybe then these dreams would be true
Reiterating the idea that dreams could come true
But I don't mind
Indicating contentment with ignorance
Ignorance is bliss this time
Embracing blissful ignorance in this instance
You're no open book
Acknowledging you as not an open book
But your eyes betray you
Noting that your eyes reveal more than words
When you look at me when we dance in the night
Highlighting the significance of eye contact while dancing
Cause it's all about asking
Emphasizing the importance of asking and caring
It's all about care
Implying that shared experiences provide conversation material
So it gives us something we can talk about I guess
Concluding that this is something to talk about
And I can't read your mind
Reiterating the inability to
But that's how it goes sometimes
Read your mind,
