On My Mind
Merkules Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause. that type of beauty is a crime
And since you got so much of it, I gotta ask you like
How are you not doing any time?
I look at you and get this feeling like I ain't worthy
I know you don't do that on purpose
But you are made perfect
Ever since I met you I swear I ain't been the same person
How aren't your legs hurting?
I know sometimes I come off to you as selfish
I can't help it, I'm just making sure your mind on no one else's
It's not my plan to ever disregard your feelings to piss you off
But you and I are different human beings
I get lost inside your eyes when I'm listening to you speaking
So I understand that when you're mad that isn't for no reason
But you saved me from myself when I was swimming in the deep end
So without you in my life it's like I couldn't picture breathing
(I know I say that I'll change thing
And I don't always
And that's nobody else's fault but mine
I know it's hard when I'm gone and I'm on the road always
But please believe you always on my mind
I know we didn't have problems when we first started
And the things has gotten harder within time
But you're the one that I made for
So it takes more
That's the mountain that we both gotta climb)
I look at you and I wonder just how it happened
Cause. that type of beauty is a crime
And since you got so much of it, I gotta ask you like
How are you not doing any time?
I look at you and get this feeling like I ain't worthy
I know you don't do that on purpose
But you are made perfect
Ever since I met you I swear I ain't been the same person
You're such a stand-up woman
How aren't your legs hurting?
I know sometimes I come off to you as selfish
I can't help it, I'm just making sure your mind on no one else's
It's not my plan to ever disregard your feelings to piss you off
But you and I are different human beings
I get lost inside your eyes when I'm listening to you speaking
So I understand that when you're mad that isn't for no reason
But you saved me from myself when I was swimming in the deep end
So without you in my life it's like I couldn't picture breathing
(I know I say that I'll change thing
And I don't always
And that's nobody else's fault but mine
I know it's hard when I'm gone and I'm on the road always
But please believe you always on my mind
I know we didn't have problems when we first started
And the things has gotten harder within time
But you're the one that I made for
So it takes more
That's the mountain that we both gotta climb)
