You know sometimes i can't get to sleep at night

I can't quiet my heart or my mind

I toss and turn, i ache and burn

I get caught in the passing of time



It's like too many miles, too many heartaches

Too much that needs to be done

Yes and too many sidewalks, too many people

Too many hours done



What's on your mind

What's on my mind

Is really quite the same

I've been working so hard

And i'm ready to play

I know just the right game



What's on your mind

Is what's on my mind

That's the way it's gonna be

I'm gonna find me a place i can hide

I want you right next to me



On i've never seen a more beautiful day

It's my favorite time of year

The colors are changing, she's rearranging

And i'm so glad to be here



I've been up and around, i've been lost, i've been found

I've seen love face to face in my dreams

And the things that i know and the things that i show

Are not always just what they seem



What's on your mind

Is what's on my mind

It's just that way

It's like catching a ride

On a beautiful river

Let it carry us all away



What's on your mind

And what's on my mind

Is really nothing new

I want to get you alone

I want to make you my own

Baby, i want to make love with you



What's on your mind

And what's on my mind

Is really quite the same

I've been working so hard

And i'm ready to play

Baby, i know just the right game



What's on your mind

And what's on my mind

Is really nothing new

I want to get you alone

I want to make you my own

Baby, i want to make love with you
