My Mind Doesn't Wander
Lost in Love's Distraction: My Mind's Unyielding Focus
Lyrics
Once I could take on jobs big and small
Once, the speaker was capable of handling various tasks regardless of size.
Didn’t matter what it was I could handle it all
The nature of the task didn't matter; the speaker felt competent to manage anything.
But now I just can’t focus on what I need to do
The speaker is currently experiencing difficulty focusing on necessary tasks.
My mind doesn’t wander, it heads straight to you
The speaker's thoughts consistently gravitate toward a specific person.
It doesn’t matter what new stuff I find
Regardless of new discoveries or experiences, the person in question remains predominant.
You’re the only thing that stays on my mind
The individual is the central and constant focus in the speaker's mind.
I try to think of something else but you’re there to stay
Efforts to divert attention to other thoughts prove futile; the person persists in the mind.
But that’s alright, I like it that way
The speaker accepts and appreciates the persistent focus on the individual.
I couldn’t find a better thing to occupy my mind
The person is considered the best distraction for the speaker's thoughts.
You’re the best of everything that’s hard to find
The individual is regarded as the best among rare and valuable things.
I couldn’t do better in a million years
No better option exists, even given an extensive timeframe.
So I ain’t gonna try to put something else there
There is no intention to replace the person with anything else.
If the thought of you keeps me from something else
If thoughts of the person prevent other activities, the speaker takes responsibility.
It’s nobody’s fault, I’ll blame myself
The speaker acknowledges self-blame if the person's thoughts hinder productivity.
Even if I see your face every time I blink
Even if the person's face appears frequently, it is not seen as a distraction but a preferred mental state.
I can’t imagine a better way to think
The speaker finds it difficult to conceive of a better way of thinking.
Yes One time I could concentrate on jobs big and small
Reiteration of the past ability to concentrate on various tasks, now contrasted with the current state.
Didn’t matter what it was I could handle it all
Similar to the first instance, the speaker used to handle tasks effectively regardless of complexity.
But now I just can’t focus on what I need to do
A repetition of the difficulty in focusing on necessary tasks at present.
My mind doesn’t wander, it heads straight to you
Reiteration of the consistent focus on a specific person, affecting the speaker's concentration.
