Off My Mind
Lost in Thoughts: Proper Youth's Struggle with Love and Time
Lyrics
Hey little girl, could you comfort me?
The speaker is asking for comfort from a girl.
I could use a little more of your company right now (Right now)
The speaker desires more companionship at the moment.
I can't seem to get you off my mind
The speaker is unable to stop thinking about someone.
And I've given it thought and I've given it time
The speaker has carefully considered and given time to their thoughts.
And I know (I know)
Repetition of acknowledgment of thoughts or realization.
Yeah I know I've been wasting all my time
The speaker acknowledges wasting time.
And in three months when I leave this all behind
In three months, the speaker plans to leave their current situation.
Then I know that when I go, well I'll be fine
Confidence that the speaker will be fine after leaving.
But I just can't seem to get you off my mind
Despite plans to leave, the person is still on the speaker's mind.
There've been little dark thoughts chasing after me
The speaker mentions troubling thoughts pursuing them.
And I've grown a little tired of my apathy in love (In love)
The speaker is tired of their lack of interest or emotion in love.
I couldn't seem to get them out of my head
The speaker struggles to get rid of these thoughts.
And I thought about fighting, but then instead they'd stay (They'd stay)
Consideration of fighting against the thoughts, but they persist.
I know I've been wasting all my time
Reiteration of wasting time.
And in three months when I leave this town behind
Reiteration of plans to leave the current town in three months.
Then I know that when I go, well I'll be fine
Confidence in being fine after leaving.
But I just can't seem to get you off my mind
The persistent presence of the person in the speaker's thoughts.
No I just can't seem to get you off my mind
Emphasis on the difficulty of forgetting the person.
I know I've been wasting all my time
Repetition of wasting time.
And in three months when I leave this all behind
Reiteration of plans to leave everything behind in three months.
Then I know that when I (You) go, well I'll be fine
Confidence that the speaker will be fine after leaving.
But I just can't seem to get you off my mind
Continued struggle with thoughts of the person despite plans to leave.
No I just can't seem to get you off my mind
Emphasis on the ongoing difficulty of forgetting the person.
Yeah I just can't seem to get you off my mind
Reiteration of the persistent struggle to get the person out of the mind.
