Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Weekday Holiday Yeah
Every single empty day
You're on my mind
Yeah, you are my mind
Ireland Germany
When I'm away you, I say
Every lonely place I go
Oh yeah, you're on my mind
I tried forgettin' you
Tried to maintain my cool
But the existence of you affects my life
If you would forget the past
And maybe someday take me back
I'd rest easy in my bed tonight
You know I'd say now
Daytime nighttime
Good times bad times
When I was down and showed up B.
You're on my mind
Oh yeah, you're on my mind
I tried forgettin' you girl
Tried to maintain my cool, yeah
But your existence affects my life
Baby, if you would forget the past
And maybe take me back
I'd rest easy in my lonely bed tonight
You know I mean it
Monday Friday
Weekday Saturday
Holiday Yeah
Every single empty day
You're on my mind
Oh yeah, you are my mind
Yeah you're on my mind
