On My Mind
Rui Da Silva feat. Ben Onono Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the blueness follows evening
And the darkness takes control
And we're waiting for anybody
Follow you lonesome down the road?

I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind

I got you on my mind
Only you on my mind

When the journey's never ending
And the road is far from tiresome
And your feet they walk to anybody
Take away that toil and trouble

I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
Only you on my mind

There ain't nobody
Unless there's you
And there ain't no way I'm gonna fall
If you're there to see me through

And I'm gonna ? the ocean 'coz it ain't got no shore
And I'm gonna ? the ocean it ain't got no shore

I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind

I got you on my mind
I got you on my mind

Line by Line Meaning

When the blueness follows evening
When the darkness comes after the evening

And the darkness takes control
And the darkness takes over the surroundings

And we're waiting for anybody
When we're looking for someone to be with

Follow you lonesome down the road?
Will you walk alone down the road?

I got you on my mind
I am thinking of you

Only you on my mind
There's no one else on my mind

When the journey's never ending
When the journey seems to continue forever

And the road is far from tiresome
And the road does not seem long and exhausting

And your feet they walk to anybody
And you can choose to walk with anyone

Take away that toil and trouble
Eliminate the difficulties and stress

There ain't nobody
There's nobody else

Unless there's you
Unless you're the one

And there ain't no way I'm gonna fall
And I won't fail

If you're there to see me through
As long as you're there to support me

And I'm gonna ? the ocean 'coz it ain't got no shore
And I'll challenge the endless ocean

And I'm gonna ? the ocean it ain't got no shore
And I'll challenge the endless ocean

I got you on my mind
I am thinking of you

Only you on my mind
There's no one else on my mind
