I read your mind, with no intensions
Of being unkind, I wish I could explain

If it's a crime, how come i feel no pain
Can't you see it in my eyes
This might be our last goodbye.

| This was one of my all-time 80s rock songs. Europe was such a wonderful group and the lyrics and music are excellent. I've always thought the lyrics almost had a science fiction tint at the end with the "I read your mind with no intentions of being unikind...I wish I could explain. It all takes time and a whole lot of patience. If It's a crime, how come I feel no pain." Very interesting. One of my top five fav songs of the 80s, and definately of all time. | |

| Its about how hard it is to say goodbye, but also being optimistic about the future "maybe we'll meet ... again.... somewhere.... again".... Meaning it's over but maybe it doesn't have to be over forever. This song is a definite classic that will live on forever! | |

| Wow. I just heard this song for the first time, and it is really intense. I think the meaning is clear...although I think the line about mind-reading bears further examination. I think he's saying that he can see a train wreck coming, that's just my opinion. The emotion in this song is overwhelming...wow...really sad. But he knows he has to leave her. | |

| Honestly, this song was more of a pre-teen, school dance sort of thing for me. Now, I don't listen to this song at all, except for occasionally playing the intro on my keyboard. I've always thought that this song was written with Joey's long-time girlfriend at that time, Elizabeth. Sounded like he knew it was coming to an end, with the band's sudden success. They did break up a few years later. | |
