Keep Me on Your Mind
Longing Across Miles: Keep Me on Your Mind by Jaimee Harris
Lyrics
Well, they said that it would come And the heavens opened up
Anticipation of a significant event, possibly emotional, with the mention of heavenly or transformative experiences.
And the sky began a-cryin' all her rain Saw it all from Tennessee
Symbolic reference to nature reacting emotionally, setting the scene in Tennessee.
Wishin' you were here with me
Expressing a desire for the presence of someone special in the narrator's life.
Wishin' I was wrapped up in your arms again
Nostalgia and longing for physical closeness, seeking the comfort of an embrace.
v 2
[Instrumental section]
I've been listenin' to your song
Listening to a song as a source of strength, possibly one associated with the absent person.
It helps me to carry on
Finding solace in music, helping the narrator navigate a challenging reality.
In a world I seem to be floating above
Feeling detached from the world, perhaps due to emotional struggles.
You're a million miles from me
Physical distance emphasized, portraying a sense of emotional separation.
But it's quite the poet's dream
Acknowledging the poetic beauty in distant love and intense emotions.
To feel such longing, feel so tortured, know such love
Reflecting on the depth of love, with an acknowledgment of the associated pain.

[Chorus]
Won't you keep me on your mind
Requesting to be remembered by the absent person.
As we wander through this time
Shared journey through time, marked with symbols of affection (X's and O's).
Markin' off the days with X's and O's
Symbolic representation of counting days, expressing mutual commitment.
I will do the same, you know I ain't that far behind As you go, won't you keep me on your mind
Reassuring closeness despite physical distance, asking to be kept in mind.
v3
[Verse 3]
I can only dream of all the places you have seen Oh, to fly on the wings of a song
Dreaming of the experiences and places the absent person has encountered.
We'll spin our tale in rhyme, puttin' love in every line And we'll be singin' here together before long
Envisioning a shared narrative through the art of storytelling and love expressed in lyrics.

[Chorus]
Won't you keep me on your mind
Reiteration of the request to be remembered, emphasizing the passage of time.
As we wander through this time
Continued journey marked by symbols, underscoring the shared commitment.
Markin' off the days with X's and O's
Repetition of the symbolic counting of days, expressing shared dedication.
I will do the same, you know I ain't that far behind As you go, won't you keep me on your mind
Reassurance of staying close in thought despite physical separation.
v4
[Verse 4]
Oh, it's too hard to think on
Facing the difficulty of contemplating the time apart and its emotional toll.
All the days that come between
Acknowledging the challenge of dealing with the days between meetings.
The next time I'll hold your hand in mine
Anticipation of the next physical connection, emphasizing the value of touch.
One day you'll greet the dawn, I'll be ridin' right along But while you're gone
Imagining a future where both are together, riding along and cherishing the moment.
Won't you keep me on your mind
Requesting continued remembrance during the absence.

[Chorus]
Won't you keep me on your mind
Repetition of the plea to stay in thoughts, emphasizing mutual commitment.
As we wander through this time
Continuation of the shared journey through time, marked by symbols of love.
Markin' off the days with X's and O's
Symbolic counting of days, expressing dedication despite the physical gap.
I will do the same, you know I ain't that far behind As you go, won't you keep me on your mind
Reassurance of proximity in thoughts, maintaining a connection despite distance.
