McComas later attended college, but soon dropped out to move to Nashville, Tennessee. McComas briefly signed to Mercury Records, before he landed a deal with Lyric Street in 2001, charting the singles "Night Disappear With You" and "I Could Never Love You Enough". In 2003, he landed his first Top 10, "99.9% Sure (I've Never Been Here Before)" and the follow up "You're in My Head", a #21 hit on the country charts. Another single for Lyric Street, "The Middle of Nowhere", fell short of the Top 40, and Lyric Street dropped him not long afterward. He later signed to Katapult Records, where he released Back Up Again, his second album.
You're In My Head
Brian McComas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I told myself I'm through with fallin'
Right now I should be runnin' from these thoughts of you
That just keep comin' but I can't
You're in my head, you're in my heart
You're in that song on the radio in my car
Even in my dreams I feel your skin
Each day ends like it begins
You're in my head
I drove four hundred miles the other day
Biggest mistake I think I ever made
I saw you on every billboard sign
In every car that passed me by, I saw your face
You're in my head, you're in my heart
You're in that song on the radio in my car
Even in my dreams I feel your skin
On my skin out of breath
Each day ends like it begins
You're in my head
Ain't no trigger I can trip, no switch that I can flip
Even if I wanted to
You're in my head, you're in my heart
You're in that song on the radio in my car
Even in my dreams I feel your skin
On my skin out of breath
Each day ends like it begins
You're in my head
I can't turn it off
The lyrics of Brian McComas's song "You're In My Head" are about a person who cannot get over their past lover. It starts with the singer admitting to himself/herself that he/she should be moving on, as he/she has told himself/herself that he/she is done with falling for his/her ex-partner. However, the thoughts of the partner just keep coming back into his/her head, and he/she can't seem to escape them. The chorus highlights how the ex-partner is everywhere the singer turns, whether it is in his/her thoughts, dreams, or even in the car on the radio. He/she admits that he/she made a big mistake driving four hundred miles and can't seem to escape the memories of the ex-partner, as he/she sees the former lover's face on every billboard sign and car that drives past.
The second verse emphasizes that the singer cannot switch off his/her feelings for the ex-partner. Even though he/she wants to move on, there is no trigger to do so. The memories of the ex-partner are too ingrained in his/her mind, and he/she can't seem to escape them. The singer admits that he/she is still in love with the ex-partner and cannot turn off his/her feelings.
Overall, the song is about the struggle of trying to move on from the person who has broken one's heart. Even though the singer wants to move on, he/she can't seem to escape the memories of the ex-partner, and his/her thoughts and dreams are consumed by the former lover. It shows how difficult it is to move on from someone who has been a significant part of one's life.
