Story Behind The Song

She stays at least one step ahead of me because she knows what I'm thinking.

Verse 1:

I turn the key to our door
Totally spent to my core
I walk inside and close it
Then lean back on it for a while
I steel myself as best I can
Go up and kiss her
She gives a smile
There's no blow-by-blow account from me of how my day panned out

Chorus:

With her MIND-READING EYES
She looks in and through mine
Views my thoughts and events just like clips on her tablet screen
Scrollin' my brain
Finds mostly lowlights
Dotted with the occasional highlight
She downloads all my info speechlessly
She has MIND-READING EYES

Verse 2:

I slump back in from the game
More despair, yet more shame
Team got thrashed again, as usual
But I force on my cheery face
I gush, "I'm home! Hey, what's to eat?"
I'm blanking out defeat's disgrace
But she melts away my thin veneer
Just as she does always

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

And she knows that I know she can read me
Wish that I could read her too
What I'd give not to put my fool-sized foot in it
Which I do half the time

Repeat Chorus
