Can't Stop Thinking About You
Haunted Reflections: Martin Sexton's Emotional Journey in 'Can't Stop Thinking About You'
Lyrics
Keepin my eyes on the road this time around
Emphasizing focus on the road, a commitment to a new path
Keepin my hands pressed to the wheel
Staying in control, determined, and not letting go
Something so strange as a woman has got me down
Feeling troubled by a woman; a relationship challenge
Ain't gonna be your damn fool again
Refusing to be deceived or mistreated again
Drivin tonight just to ease my mind
Driving to clear the mind, seeking solace
A man in this mood is a most dangerous kind
Being in a dangerous emotional state
Then there was the time my head went blind
Recalling a moment of confusion or poor judgment
Couldn't see the sign at the time
Missing a crucial sign in the past
Years would go by before I wondered who
Reflecting on years of ignorance, questioning
Or where or what or why
Pondering about the who, where, what, and why of life
Lovin you was like lovin a house on fire
Describing a passionate yet destructive love
Burning and learning when the damage was done
Realizing the consequences of love after the damage
Now I'm tired and I'm scared and wide open
Feeling exhausted, scared, and vulnerable
To the rest of my life
Facing the uncertainties of the future
And I almost had it all
Nearly achieving completeness or fulfillment
I'm sick and tired but I'm hoping
Expressing weariness but maintaining hope
That a cure will be found
Wishing for a solution or resolution
Cause I can't stop thinking bout you
Unable to stop thinking about a person
I can't stop thinking bout you
Continued preoccupation with the person
Here face to face with what I've been running from all these years
Confronting and facing long-avoided issues
Hangs a dark cloud over the moon
A looming problem casting a shadow over happiness
Pull off to this roadside dive and maybe test my sobriety
Considering sobriety and self-reflection
Order a tall cool ginger ale
Choosing a non-alcoholic drink, a shift in lifestyle
Lovin you was sort of like lovin a fifth of the finest bourbon
Comparing love to the impact of alcohol, perhaps regret
Was it your quality or high quantity that's put me in the shape I'm in
Questioning the nature of the relationship, its effects
Now I'm tired and I'm scared and wide open to the rest of my life
Reiterating feelings of tiredness, fear, and vulnerability
And I almost had it all
Nearly achieving completeness or fulfillment (repeated)
I'm fooling myself by thinking
Admitting self-deception, recognizing reality
That a cure will be found
Hoping for a solution despite recognizing challenges
Cause I can't stop thinking bout you
Continued preoccupation with the person (repeated)
I can't stop thinking bout you
Unshakeable thoughts about the person (repeated)
