Thinkin' About You
Hazel O'Connor Lyrics

I think about you,
I am constantly reminded of you and your presence in my life.

When I could be scrubbin' floors,
Even when I am doing mundane tasks, my thoughts always seem to drift back to you.

Or plottin' a bank robbery,
Even when I am busy planning something dangerous, I cannot help but think about you.

Do you think of me?
I wonder if you feel the same way about me and think of me as much as I do of you.

and sometimes,
Occasionally, in certain moments or situations,

When I'm feelin' like a lost child,
When I am feeling particularly vulnerable and alone,

I imagine you are holdin' me,
I imagine being comforted by you and physically held in your embrace.

Your breath on me.
The feeling of your warm breath on my skin is a comfort to me.

Ten thousand miles from home,
I am so far away from where I feel comfortable and secure.

Ten thousand from you.
And just as far from you, which feels even more unbearable.

Yeah Venice beach is fine,
Although my current location is okay, with its sunny beaches and all,

But I'd rather spent time with you
I would still prefer to be spending time with you instead of being here.

And I, I'm walkin' in sunshine,
Despite everything, I am still happy and optimistic in many ways.

I'm talkin' with you in my mind,
You are always on my mind, and I often have conversations with you in my head.

Wish you were here, with me
I long for your physical presence and wish that you were here by my side.

And we'd be walkin' in sunshine,
If you were here, we would be enjoying the good times together and feeling happy.

We'd be talkin' bout life and times,
We would have deep conversations about life and our experiences together.

We'd be walkin' in rhythm and rhyme,
Our conversations and moments together would feel effortless, like we are in sync with each other.

And the sky is clear and blue,
The world around us feels beautiful and perfect in that moment.

And I'm thinkin' bout you.
My thoughts always come back to you, no matter how far away I am or what I am doing.

And I trust what's mine,
I have faith that the things that are meant for me will come to me in due time.

Will come to me in time,
I believe that I will eventually get what I want and need, but that it may take some time.

And I will be ready,
When the time comes, I will be ready to take on whatever comes my way.

I'll be steady,
I will remain calm and focused, and won't let external circumstances shake me.

I'll be go go go,
I will be proactive and take action to make things happen for myself.

And this I know,
I am certain that my persistence and hard work will pay off for me eventually.

There ain't no way to push the river
I cannot force things to happen before their time, and must accept that some things are out of my control.

Faster than it's meant to go, no no
Things will happen at their own pace, and there is little I can do to speed up the process.

Ten thousand miles I've gone,
I have come a long way from where I started, both physically and metaphorically.

Ten thousand to L.A
But there is still a long way to go until I reach my desired destination.

And if I wrote to you
If I were to write a letter to you,

Here are the things I'd say
These are the things I would want to tell you.

And I'm feelin' blue...
I am feeling sad and lonely without you here by my side.

Thinkin' bout you...
My thoughts always come back to you, no matter where I am or what I am doing.

Then stay in touch,
Keep in contact with me,

Stay in touch.....
So that even if we are far away, we can still feel connected to each other.

I been walkin' in sunshine,
I am still managing to find happiness and joy in my life despite my difficulties.

I wish that you were here,
But I still wish more than anything that you were here with me, by my side.

And we
If we were together,

We'd be walkin' in sunshine,
We would be happy and enjoying life together.

We'd be talkin' bout life and times,
We would be having deep and meaningful conversations about our experiences and the world around us.

We'd be talkin' in rhythm and rhyme,
Our conversations would feel effortless, like we were in sync with each other.

And the sky is clear and blue,
The world around us feels beautiful and perfect in that moment.

And I'm thinkin' bout you.
No matter where I am or what I am doing, my thoughts always come back to you.
