You Were on My Mind
Morning Reflections: A Journey Through Life's Pains and Healing
Lyrics
When I got up this morning
Expressing the start of the day
You were on my mind
Thinking about someone
You were on my mind
Reiteration of the persistent thoughts about someone
I got some aches, and whoa-oh
Experiencing physical discomfort
I got some pains, and whoa-oh
Feeling emotional pain
I got some wounds to bind
Dealing with emotional wounds
So I went to the corner
Seeking solace or distraction
Just to ease my pain
Attempting to alleviate emotional distress
Just to ease my pain
Repeating the effort to ease emotional pain
I got drunk, and whoa-oh
Turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism
I got sick, and whoa-oh
Experiencing negative consequences of coping
I came home again
Returning home after a difficult experience
Well I woke up this morning
Starting a new day with lingering thoughts
You were on my mi-i-i-ind and
Continuing to be preoccupied with someone
You were on my mind
Reiteration of persistent thoughts about someone
I got troubles, whoa-oh
Facing challenges or difficulties
I got worries, whoa-oh
Dealing with anxieties or concerns
I got wounds to bind
Continuing to cope with emotional wounds
And I got a feeling
Experiencing a deep inner sense
Down in my sho-oo-oo-oes, said
Feeling a profound emotion within
Way down in my sho-oo-oes
Expressing the need to take action
I got to move on, whoa-oh
Recognizing the necessity to move forward
I got to travel, whoa-oh
Acknowledging the urge to explore
I got to walk away my blues
Deciding to overcome personal sadness
When I woke up this morning
Starting another day with persistent thoughts
You were on my mind
Continuing to be on the mind
You were on my mind
Reiteration of persistent thoughts about someone
I got some aches, and whoa-oh
Experiencing physical discomfort
I got some pains, and whoa-oh
Feeling emotional pain
I got some wounds to bind
Dealing with emotional wounds
