Losing My Mind
D.B. Cook Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun comes up
I think about you
The coffee cup
I think about you
I want you so
It's like I'm losing my mind

The morning ends
I think about you
I talk to friends
I think about you
And do they know?
It's like I'm losing my mind

All afternoon, doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left
Not going right

I dim the lights
And think about you
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you
You said you loved me
Or were you just being kind
Or am I losing my mind?

I want you so
It's like I'm losing my mind

Does no one know?
It's like I'm losing my mind

All afternoon, doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left
Not going right

I dim the lights
And think about you
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you
You said you loved me




Or were you just being kind!
Or am I losing my mind?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D.B. Cook's song "Losing My Mind" describe the all-consuming nature of a love so intense, it feels like the singer is losing their grip on reality. From the moment the sun comes up and throughout the day, the object of their affection is constantly on their mind, making it difficult to focus on even the most mundane tasks. The singer finds themselves standing still in the middle of the floor, unable to move in any direction as they obsess over the one they love. Even at night, they cannot escape their thoughts, spending sleepless nights lost in their own mind.


The lyrics suggest a certain level of uncertainty as well. The line "You said you loved me, or were you just being kind" suggests that the singer is unsure of their partner's true feelings, adding to their sense of instability. This uncertainty also adds a sense of danger to the lyrics. The all-consuming nature of the love described could be seen as unhealthy and potentially dangerous if left unchecked.
