On My Mind
Kate Stewart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dnim ym fo tuo mih teg t'nac
No trust space
No stayin' up all late at night discussing
All the things that really don't mean nothing
Tryna be something we can't define, i-ine
Let us just focus on forgetting
See, I'm just on a different kind of mission
And you can come on with me if you like, li-i-i-i-ike
I don't wanna keep wastin' time
Reading between the lines
When it just feels so right
Baby, when you touch me
I don't want it to stop
Want you more than on my mind
Baby, when you touch me
I don't want it to stop
Want you more than on my mind, mi-i-ind, uh
If it was something (Something)
That could keep me going 'til the morning (Morning)
Damn, you shoulda came out with a warning (Warning)
But it don't matter, I still woulda tried, tri-i-i-ied
I don't wanna keep wastin' time
Reading between the lines
When it just feels so right
Baby, when you touch me
I don't want it to stop
Want you more than on my mind
Baby, when you touch me
I don't want it to stop
Want you more than on my mind, mi-i-ind, uh
Hey
He-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey
More than on my mind
He-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey
On my mind
Baby, when you touch me
I don't want it to stop
Want you more than on my mind (More than on my mind)
Baby, when you touch me
I don't want it to stop
Want you more than on my mind, mi-i-ind
The beginning of the song, "Gnorw tib tsal eht tog uoy, hu / Dnim ym fo tuo mih teg t'nac," is actually "uh, got the last bit wrong, my mind of out gettin' it." This lyric is a reference to the idea of mishearing lyrics in songs, as the phrase sounds like gibberish but when played backward and slowed down, it becomes clear. The song is about letting go of superficial things and living in the moment with someone. The opening lines set the tone for the song, emphasizing the importance of being present in the moment and not getting too caught up in the past or future.
The chorus of the song is where the message is reinforced, as the singer admits that she wants her lover more than anything else on her mind. She's urging him to see life from her perspective, which is focused on enjoying the moment while it lasts rather than worrying about the future or the past.
Overall, Kate Stewart's "On My Mind" is a song about living in the moment with someone you care about. It's an upbeat and positive song that encourages people to focus on what's important in life and not get bogged down by superficial things.
