If I could read your mind
Would I wanna know
What you truly feel
But you never show

If I could read your mind
There's heartache in the suburbs
Would I wanna know
There's heartache in the suburbs tonight
What you truly feel
There's heartache in the suburbs
But you never show
There's heartache in the suburbs tonight

I was driving on the B.Q.E.
Thinkin' 'bout you and me
I was so happy
I was heading back to New City from NYC
When it suddenly hit me
What if everything we got is a lie, between you and I
And you're playing with another guy
Things get crazy on the summer break, you get carried away
Heartache in the suburbs

If I could read your mind
There's heartache in the suburbs
Would I wanna know
There's heartache in the suburbs tonight
What you truly feel
There's heartache in the suburbs
But you never show
There's heartache in the suburbs tonight

Remember driving to the shore at night, feeling so right
Am I getting any tonight
Hit the diner as the sun came up, chattin' it up
There was a fly in my coffee cup
I looked up and 10 years went by, but those feelings survived
Heartache in the suburbs

If I could read your mind
There's heartache in the suburbs
Would I wanna know
There's heartache in the suburbs tonight
What you truly feel
There's heartache in the suburbs
But you never show
There's heartache in the suburbs tonight

And no matter where I travel in this life
I'll remember all those restless summer nights
It's not easy knowing things are gonna change next year

If I could read your mind
There's heartache in the suburbs
Would I wanna know
There's heartache in the suburbs tonight
What you truly feel
There's heartache in the suburbs
But you never show
There's heartache in the suburbs tonight

If I could read your mind
I was driving on the B.Q.E.
Thinkin' 'bout you and me
Would I wanna know
I was heading back to New City from NYC
What you truly feel
What if everything we got is a lie, between you and I
But you never show
Things get crazy on the summer break, you get carried away
Heartache in the suburbs
