You're on My Mind Too Much
Echoes of Regret: Nostalgic Musings on Love and Loss
Lyrics
Those avenues
Referring to the streets or paths of memories or experiences.
When skies seemed far more blue
Recalling a time when things seemed happier or more optimistic.
I guess they grew on me
Expressing familiarity or comfort with those experiences over time.
While I grew, too
Signifying personal growth and development alongside the passage of time.
Gone away
Indicates a departure or absence.
Now all your skies are grey
Highlighting a current state of sadness or bleakness.
As if to say to you
Implies a message conveyed by the change in the skies' color or mood.
One more day
Suggests the longing for an extension of time together.
It's often I regret
Expressing feelings of remorse or disappointment.
That I passed you by
Reflecting on a missed opportunity involving the listener.
For one more dream
Yearning for another chance at a particular aspiration or goal.
And now I dream of then
Nostalgically recalling moments from the past.
For one more touch
Desiring physical contact or closeness.
Because you're on my mind too much
Explaining the reason for longing due to constant thoughts about the listener.
I guess it's true
Admitting the reality of missing the listener.
That I'm just missing you
Feeling down or sad when the listener is distant.
And I'm blue when you're far
Reiterating a similar feeling of sadness when separated from the listener.
Away, too
Referring to a time in the past when the listener might have been more present or engaged.
Way back then
Implying a previous state of mind or behavior for the listener.
When you weren't in your head
When the listener was not preoccupied or overthinking.
You had a bed where you'd lay
Describing the listener's past routine of resting or sleeping.
Instead
Instead of engaging in current thoughts or worries.
It's often I regret
Reiterating feelings of regret for not choosing differently.
That I passed you by

For one more dream

Yeah I guess you could say
Admitting the frequency of thoughts about the listener.
You're on my mind too much
Reiterating the excessive presence of the listener in the speaker's thoughts.
