Baby my head's full of wishes
Baby my head's full of pictures
Baby my head's full of colors
Baby my head's full of pictures of you

Baby I spend all my money
Baby don't think that it's funny
Baby my head's full of colors
Baby my head's full of pictures of you

The chorus centres around the line "Baby my head's full of pictures of you" which encapsulates how the person can't escape their feelings, and how they're constantly reminded of this other individual even when doing the most mundane things like spending money. Overall, the song is a poetic representation of how all-consuming infatuation can be.
