My Wandering Mind
Journey of Love: My Wandering Mind by Milton Jon and Joey
Lyrics
She walks away again
Expresses the subject walking away.
Not for good, no, just for now
Clarifies it's not a permanent departure but a temporary one.
But I hesitate to turn myself around and go back home
The narrator hesitates to return home despite the departure.
The orange and violet sky lit up the street
Describes the illuminated street under a colorful sky.
That melts below the summer heat
Depicts the street melting in the summer heat.
And it always looks so long when I walk it down alone
Expresses the loneliness of walking down the long street alone.
Well, I just can't realize what I mean to you
The narrator is uncertain about their significance to the other person.
But if it's what your face implies
Interprets the other person's feelings through facial expressions.
I'll just keep on pushing through
Despite uncertainty, the narrator decides to persist.
Through to you
Reiterates the determination to reach the other person.
She keeps me steady
The other person provides stability to the narrator.
I could never leave
The narrator expresses commitment despite occasional challenges.
But temporary troubles get the best of me
Temporary issues affect the narrator's mindset.
And I think she feels the same when I'm not around
Suggests the other person feels similarly in the narrator's absence.
My wandering mind
Introduces the theme of the narrator's wandering thoughts.
Before I met her I would say that
Prior to meeting the other person, the narrator had a different perspective.
Life is short and love's a game
The narrator's previous view on life and love.
But I can't even stand to wait
Current impatience contradicts the previous mindset.
Yeah, the way she moves and talks to me
The other person's actions convince the narrator of self-sufficiency.
It shows me I don't need anybody else
The narrator feels complete with the other person.
Every day that she is mine
Every day with the other person is described as positive.
The air is crisp and the colors shine
Highlights the beauty of the surroundings when with the other person.
And I can't get enough of her
The narrator expresses a strong attraction to the other person.
Now I'm driving up and down this street
The narrator is searching for the other person.
Just wishing that she was in the seat beside me
Expresses a desire for the other person's company while driving.
Yeah, I could take you where you like
Suggests the narrator's willingness to accommodate the other person's preferences.
Or we could stay awake all night
Options for spending time together are proposed.
And it won't be long
Anticipation of being independent in the future.
Until we're really on our own
The narrator looks forward to being on their own.
Well, I still can't realize what I mean to you
