What's Your Name
Josh Henderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whoa, you're in my head
Whoa, you're in my head again
Whoa, you're in my...
I can't define just how I feel
I looked it up, but it wasn't there
Among the words, there was to spare
I can't help but describe whats in my head
I can't define just how i feel
I think the scientists have failed
The charts and graphs they try to flid
The changing chemicals they find
The show all cause my heart to stop
Its driving me crazy
Whoa.
And Since you've been gone
So wrote you this song
You're up in Alberta
Whoa.
While I'm stuck in Utah
And I'm singing this song
I'm sick of my tv
Reality Shows,
Yeah you know how it goes
it's driving me crazy
Whoa.
Since youv'e been gone
so I wrote you this song
I can't define just how I feel
THe sympathy never began
Just a plan, mix emotion
So when we met we couldnt define
The feelings feeled but not defined
The lyrics of Josh Henderson's song You're in My Head express the singer's strong emotions towards someone who has been occupying his thoughts extensively. The use of the repetition of 'Whoa, you're in my head' creates a strong sense of the feeling of being stuck with someone in your mind. The second verse explores the inability to put these emotions into words - even scientists' attempt to find a chemical basis for feelings is deemed insufficient. The chorus reaffirms the emotional strain caused by the person's absence.
The third verse focuses on the artist's frustrating isolation and yearning to be reunited with the person. The fourth verse transitions into the mundane discomfort of reality and the desire for the absence of the person to be filled. The final verse encourages the feeling of understanding from the past, but the inability to put words to the emotion. Through the passionate and intense description of these emotions, the artist conveys the power and importance of those who make an impact on our lives, and the pain caused by their absence.
