What's On Your Mind?
Blue October UK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ve been working it up all night,
Playing easy on fears of mine,
Picking up on the doubt this time.
I’ve been watching her, loving you,
I’m watching her, loving you.
I’ve been watching her, loving you,
I’m on the edge of your tearful eyes,
I’m looking into the world inside,
You know a secret, hard to find,
I can’t decide if it’s wrong or right,
I’ve been watching her, loving you,
What’s on your mind?
I’m watching her, loving you.
What’s on your mind?
I’m watching her, loving you.
What’s on your mind?
