On My Mind
Christy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind
And once you told me I was mistaken
That I'd awaken with the sun
And ordered orange juice for one
You had what I lack, myself
Now I even have to scratch my back myself
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
The lyrics to Christy's song "On My Mind" reveal a person reflecting on past experiences with a former lover. The first verse mentions how the singer used to laugh when their lover warned them that they would end up alone playing solitaire, feeling uneasy in their easy chair. The singer admits that they didn't take those words seriously and never thought that it would happen to them. The second verse shows how the lover warned the singer again that if they didn't appreciate them, they would say a lonely prayer and wish that the lover was there to get into their hair again. The singer again admits that they didn't take the warning seriously.
The repetition of "it never entered my mind" throughout the song underscores the regret the singer feels for not taking their lover's warnings seriously. The phrase highlights the singer's realization they were ignorant of their lover's importance in their life, and now that they are not around, the singer is left to "scratch [their] back myself." The song's lyrics suggest that we often take the people closest to us for granted and don't appreciate them fully until they are gone.

Hello Christy! Could you add lyrics? This song is beautiful, and I know main meaning, but I'm not sure about few (oh, more than few) words ://
You're doing great work, waiting to "Forever"! ❤️🥳

Watched "Find me in Paris" With my daughter and hoped to find an album, your voice transports so much emotion, you are a big talent!

Congratulations on your debut EP! Your talent deserves recognition. There's something about the dainty undulations of your voice that takes you to another time (and I'm not just alluding to "Find me in Paris"). There's also its beautiful raspiness combined with the nostalgic feeling wrapped around every note that you play. Blocking someone out of your mind may seem impossible sometimes... If it does defy possibility, it means that person is not meant to be blocked, merely "demoted" from "the only one" status to a bitter-sweet memory - this is how this song makes me feel. Anyway, keep up the good work! Greetings from Romania. P. S. "In Colors" is my personal favorite.
