On My Mind
Scream Club feat. Tender Forever & the Seamstress Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waitin' for a phone call that ain't gonna come
And i'm tryin' to make sense of time we spent
I'm clueless waitin' for you to give me the hint
How we went from being what i thought was connected
It is hard for me not to put it in perspective
I never required you to make a choice
But i wanted you to be excited by the sound of my voice
How and why exactly it happened i'm not certain
If for better or for worse
Wrong or right
That i know is i am thinking of you day and night
I can't quite understand why you ignore me
Do you just not feel good enough for me
Or was i just a distraction from your everyday doin's
And you started feelin' bad when i was catchin' feelings
Did you think it was easier just to end
Than to tell me that you only want to just be friends
It's a shame you couldn't show me just a little respect
Cause now i'm already done with you and onto the next
You've been
On my mind
But i'm tryin to get rid of all these feelings that i'm dealing with
On my mind
But i'm tryin to get rid of all these feelings that i'm dealing with
I believe in breathing deep
No defeat
Not enough sleep
I keep my feelings mostly to myself
Except in times when i need help
I hesitate to let you in
Even though i know you want to be friends
I can't begin to make amends
With my fears inside
They make me spin
In the wrong direction
Am i only projecting?
Should i instead be looking at my own reflection?
I reject the notion of being boring
I seek the adventures that leave me scoring
In the morning, through the day, and back into the night
But i'm still trying for the person who treats me right
You're out of sight, but not out of mind
What was the reason for the two of us to find each other
In this town full of everyone else's lovers
I know i fucked up, that's plain to see
But let me know if there's a second chance for me 'cause
You've been
On my mind
But i'm tryin to get rid of all these feelings that i'm dealing with
On my mind
But i'm tryin to get rid of all these feelings that i'm dealing with
(tender forever speaks french)
You've been
On my mind
But i'm tryin to get rid of all these feelings that i'm dealing with
On my mind
But i'm tryin to get rid of all these feelings that i'm dealing with
On my mind
But i'm tryin to get rid of all these feelings that i'm dealing with
On my mind
But i'm tryin to get rid of all these feelings that i'm dealing with
Pick your heart up off the ground
(on my mind)
But i'm tryin to get rid of all these feelings that i'm dealing with
Pick your heart up off the ground
(on my mind)
But i'm tryin to get rid of all these feelings that i'm dealing with
Pick your heart up off the ground
(on my mind)
But i'm tryin to get rid of all these feelings that i'm dealing with
Pick your heart up off the ground
(on my mind)
But i'm tryin to get rid of all these feelings that i'm dealing with

But i'm still trying for the person who treats me right
But ultimately, I am searching for someone who respects and values me
You're out of sight, but not out of mind
You may be gone from my sight, but I can't get you out of my head
What was the reason for the two of us to find each other
What was the purpose of us crossing paths?
In this town full of everyone else's lovers
In a town where it seems like everyone else is in love
I know i fucked up, that's plain to see
I know that I made mistakes, and it's obvious to me
But let me know if there's a second chance for me 'cause
But I am wondering if there is still a chance for us to try again
