Outta My Head
Daughtry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it ain't for me
It's kinda hard when you lay your heart
On a one way street
I really thought by now
You woulda slipped my mind
But the kind of love sent from above
Is the killing kind
Put my mind to rest and try to sleep it off
It'll be alright when the morning comes
Or am I wrong
Ain't no doubt about it
I can't live without it
Tried to forget you
But I can't get you outta my head
Just when I think you're gone
You come back and turn it on
And just like a simple song
I can't get you outta my head
Well I saw you dancin'
Dancin' in my dreams
I saw your face and I can't erase
All the things I've seen
Even if I try
'Cause Lord knows I've tried
I can't escape
And I can't shake the pain inside
Crazy when she comes and crazy as she goes
I'm holding out my hands with nothing left to show
Guess that's the way it goes
Ain't no doubt about it
I can't live without it
Tried to forget you
But I can't get you outta my head
Just when I think you're gone
You come back and turn it on
And just like a simple song
I can't get you outta my head
Can't get you outta my head
Can't get you outta my head
Crazy when she comes and crazy as she goes
I'm holding out my hands with nothing left to show
Guess that's the way it goes
Ain't no doubt about it
I can't live without it
Tried to forget you
But I can't get you outta my head
Just when I think you're gone
You come back and turn it on
And just like a simple song
I can't get you outta my head
Can't get you outta my head
Can't get you outta my head

I thought it would be easy
I assumed that forgetting you would be simple
But it ain't for me
But, for me, it's not easy at all
It's kinda hard when you lay your heart
It's quite difficult when you give your heart
On a one way street
To someone who can't love you back
I really thought by now
I honestly believed that by now
You woulda slipped my mind
I would have forgotten you
But the kind of love sent from above
However, the type of love that comes from heaven
Is the killing kind
Is the type of love that is hurting me the most
Put my mind to rest and try to sleep it off
I try to forget you and fall asleep
It'll be alright when the morning comes
I tell myself it will be better in the morning
Or am I wrong
But maybe I'm mistaken
Ain't no doubt about it
It's clear to me
I can't live without it
I can't live without you
Tried to forget you
I tried my best to move on
But I can't get you outta my head
But I can't stop thinking about you
Just when I think you're gone
Every time I think I've forgotten you
You come back and turn it on
You return and make me feel the same way again
And just like a simple song
It's as easy as a basic tune
I can't get you outta my head
I can't stop thinking about you
Well I saw you dancin'
I saw you dancing
Dancin' in my dreams
I saw you dancing in my sleep
I saw your face and I can't erase
I can't forget your face
All the things I've seen
All the memories we've shared
Even if I try
Even if I put in effort
'Cause Lord knows I've tried
Because God knows I've done my best
I can't escape
I can't run away from you
And I can't shake the pain inside
I can't get rid of this feeling of hurt
Crazy when she comes and crazy as she goes
The situation is intense and unpredictable
I'm holding out my hands with nothing left to show
I have nothing to offer, nothing to hold on to
Guess that's the way it goes
I suppose that's just how things happen
Can't get you outta my head
I can't stop thinking about you
Can't get you outta my head
I can't get you out of my mind

Took about an hour of having this song stuck in my head for me to realize that I couldn't get Outta My Head outta my head.
