It Never Entered My Mind
Uncharted Emotions: Katharine McPhee's Poignant Reflections in 'It Never Entered My Mind'
Lyrics
Once I laughed when I heard you saying
Initially, I found humor in your statement
That I'd be playing solitaire
You suggested I'd end up alone, playing a solitary game
Uneasy in my easy chair
Feeling uneasy in my comfort
It never entered my mind
I never considered that possibility
And once you told me I was mistaken
You previously informed me of my error
That I'd awaken with the sun
Stating I'd wake up early with the sunrise
And ordered orange juice for one
And order a single serving of orange juice
It never entered my mind
Again, I didn't consider this as a possibility
You had what I lack, myself
You possessed something I lacked within myself
Now I even have to scratch my back myself
To the extent that now I even attend to my own needs
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
At one point, you cautioned me about potential rejection
I'd say a lonely prayer again
That such rejection might lead to solitary prayers
And wish that you were there again
Longing for your presence once more
To get into my hair again
Wanting your closeness and involvement in my life
It never entered my mind
Still, this idea didn't occur to me
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
A repetition of the warning about potential scorn
I'd say a lonely prayer again
Reiterating the idea of solitary prayers if scorned
And wish that you were there again
Expressing the desire for your return
To get into my hair again
Wanting your presence and involvement in my life again
It never entered my mind
Once more, this possibility didn't cross my mind
