Tattooed Mind
Inked Memories: Claire Cooper's Melody of Unspoken Desires
Lyrics
How am I supposed to focus
Expressing difficulty in maintaining focus.
When you're standing right next to me
Acknowledging the presence of someone close.
Should I just play pretend
Contemplating whether to pretend or be genuine.
And convince myself
Considering self-persuasion about the absence of thoughts about the person.
That you're not in my head
Admitting that thoughts of the person persist.
I I try
Expressing effort to remove the person from thoughts.
To get you off my mind
Struggling to mentally detach from the person.
But it ain't working
Recognition that efforts to forget are ineffective.
You you are
Affirming the significant presence of the person.
Tattooed in my mind
Metaphorically stating the person is deeply ingrained in thoughts.
Oh baby yes you are
Reaffirming the person's lasting impact on the mind.
On repeat in my head
Describing the continuous recurrence of thoughts about the person.
I wanna know if you fantasize
Expressing curiosity about the person's fantasies.
About looking in my eyes
Asking if the person thinks about eye contact.
Why your feeling's in a disguise
Questioning why the person hides true feelings.
Cause you you can open up to me
Encouraging openness and honesty in communication.
Whatever it is baby
Assuring willingness to listen to the person.
I'll be listening
Commitment to being there for emotional support.
I'll be right there when you need me
Promise to stand by the person when needed.
Cause I I try
Reiterating the struggle to forget the person.
To get you off my mind
Continued effort to overcome persistent thoughts.
But it ain't working
Acknowledgment of unsuccessful attempts to forget.
Cause you are
Reaffirming the person's lasting impact on thoughts.
Tattooed in my mind
Emphasizing the deep imprint of the person on the mind.
Oh baby yes you are
Restating the enduring presence of the person.
I'll be there in the snap of your fingers baby
Commitment to being readily available for the person.
Whenever you call me up
Availability to talk and provide support upon request.
And tell me you need to talk to somebody
Acknowledgment of the person's effect on emotions.
You know that you drive me crazy
Highlighting the constant mental preoccupation with the person.
In my head twenty four seven
Expressing the continuous impact of the person on thoughts.
Baby baby
Endearing term of affection towards the person.
Standing right next to me
Reiterating the challenge of being close to the person.
Cause I I try
Continued effort to mentally detach from the person.
To get you off my mind
Persisting in attempts to free the mind from thoughts of the person.
But it ain't working
Recognition of the ineffectiveness of attempts to forget.
Cause you are
Emphasizing the person's enduring impact on thoughts.
Tattooed in my mind
Reiteration of the deep imprint the person has left.
And I can't get you out of it
Expressing inability to remove the person from thoughts.
I I try
Continued struggle to overcome persistent thoughts.
To get you off my mind
Acknowledgment of unsuccessful attempts to forget.
But it ain't working
Reaffirmation of the person's lasting impact on thoughts.
You you're yeah yeah
Acknowledgment of the person's profound presence.
Tattooed in my mind
Reiteration of the enduring imprint of the person.
Oh baby
Affirmation of the person's lasting impact.
Yes you are yeah
Confirmation of the person's profound influence.
