On My Mind
Amber D and Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A dollar for your troubles
Pour me up a shot
Fuck it, make it a double
It's four in the morning wherever you are
And my head spins around you but you're still so far
I've been stuck on your line
I wanna turn off my mind
I wanna turn off my mind
Got you on every side
And it's killing my vibe
Tonight I'm gonna turn off my mind
Gonna turn off my mind
Turn off my mind
Turn off my mind
Turn off my mind
Turn off my mind
Just about had it with the madness
And the rat packs and the tactics and the practice
That it takes to get past this
If I get lit can I last this
If I run fast and unpack this
Can I let like elastics
Can I let like elastics
Small talk is cheap, gotta get me something
It's dry out here in the summertime
Drink might be nice for a little longer
Make it on ice
I've been stuck on your line
I've been wasting my time
I wanna turn off my mind
I wanna turn off my mind
Got you on every side
And it's killing my vibe
Tonight I'm gonna turn off my mind
Gonna turn off my mind
Turn off my mind
Turn off my mind
Turn off my mind
Turn off my mind
Turn off my mind
Love only happens in the movies
I only wish you really knew me
You think I'm sugar and spices
You leave me to my devices
I wish you could see through me (turn off my mind)
I wish you'd wanna do me (turn off my mind)
My mind is unruly, my mind is unruly
I've been stuck on your line
I've been wasting my time
I wanna turn off my mind
I wanna turn off my mind
Got you on every side
And it's killing my vibe
Tonight I'm gonna turn off my mind
Gonna turn off my mind
Turn off my mind
The lyrics to Amber D and Morgan's song On My Mind express the singer's yearning to forget about someone who has been on their mind constantly. The song begins with the singer expressing their desire to know what is on the other person's mind by asking for a penny for their thoughts and a dollar for their troubles. The next lines indicate that the singer wants to drown their sorrows and forget about this person by getting drunk. The singer is aware that no matter how much they try to move on, the thought of the other person still consumes them. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to turn off their mind and forget about the person.
The second verse speaks of the singer's frustration with life's complexities and how one needs to play their cards right to succeed. The singer wonders if getting drunk can help them endure the hard times. They long for more meaningful conversations with the people around them and wish that the world was not so superficial. The bridge then shows the singer's disappointment with the other person who only sees them as sugar and spices, someone who is easy to handle. The singer feels that they are not understood and wants the other person to see them for who they really are.

A penny for your thoughts
Tell me what's on your mind and I'll listen
A dollar for your troubles
If you're going through a tough time, I'll try to help out
Pour me up a shot
Give me something strong to drink
Fuck it, make it a double
I'm not messing around, give me a lot
It's four in the morning wherever you are
We're both up late, thinking about each other
And my head spins around you but you're still so far
I can't stop thinking about you, but you're not here
I've been stuck on your line
I've been waiting for you to call or message me
I've been wasting my time
I'm not getting anything done because I'm thinking about you too much
I wanna turn off my mind
I want to stop thinking so much
Got you on every side
You're all I can think about
And it's killing my vibe
It's distracting me and bringing me down
Tonight I'm gonna turn off my mind
I'm going to try to stop thinking about you tonight
Turn off my mind
Stop thinking
Just about had it with the madness
I'm fed up with all the craziness and stress
And the rat packs and the tactics and the practice
I'm tired of all the negative people and their strategies
That it takes to get past this
It's hard to get through this situation
If I get lit can I last this
If I get drunk, will I be able to handle it?
If I run fast and unpack this
If I try to ignore it, will it go away?
Can I let like elastics
Can I let go like elastic and bounce back?
Small talk is cheap, gotta get me something
I don't want to waste time with meaningless conversations
It's dry out here in the summertime
Things are dull and boring right now
Drink might be nice for a little longer
Drinking could make things more interesting
Make it on ice
Put ice in my drink
Love only happens in the movies
Real love is hard to find
I only wish you really knew me
I wish you knew the real me and not just what you see
You think I'm sugar and spices
You have the wrong idea about me
You leave me to my devices
You don't pay attention to me
I wish you could see through me (turn off my mind)
I wish you could understand me better
I wish you'd wanna do me (turn off my mind)
I wish you were more interested in me
My mind is unruly, my mind is unruly
I can't control my thoughts
