Read My Mind
The Killers Lyrics


On the corner of Main Street
Just tryna keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm fallin' behind
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light, I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The good old days, the honest man
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees
A broken wrist and a big trapeze
Oh well, I don't mind if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go
Can you read my mind?

It's funny how you just break down
Waitin' on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin' my spine
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The teenage queen, the loaded gun
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen
A city wall and a trampoline
Oh well, I don't mind if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you jump
Tell me what you find
Can you read my mind?

Slippin' in my faith until I fall
He never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again
She said, "I don't mind if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine"
Put your back on me, put your back on me
Put your back on me

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds
Cut out of the sun
Can you read my mind?

The teenage queen, the loaded gun
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen
A city wall and a trampoline
Oh well, I don't mind if you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you jump
Tell me what you find
Can you read my mind?

This part gets me every time.

I still believe that this is the best song they ever recorded.

John Mclaughlan

Totally agree listened to this everyday when it first got released used to blare it going down the motorway lol

Daniel Crone

Usually a band's most popular song is not their best one

CaptainVX

I feel like almost everything the Killers have made are beautiful and amazing, no other band or artist can live up to the impact they do

6 years ago I was 18, listening to this on the bus on the way to college everything felt promising, new and beautiful. I'm 24 working now and I have learned the art of losing. Everything is still as beautiful as they were when I listen to this. Thank you The Killers.

Brian Fleming

It's not about winning or losing. It's about winning or learning. Losing is on you and you only. It happens when you refuse to learn

Sandy Flanagan

This song can resonate for most people. I sure know I smile and laugh bc I’m at an age my children are all gone. I thought I would relish with Independence, once again, and I so very miss them.
