You on My Mind
Yearning Memories: Longing for Love's Return
Lyrics
Friends say I'll get over you soon
Friends suggest that the speaker will eventually overcome the feelings related to the person mentioned.
Thoughts of you come back to fill me with gloom
Recollections of the person bring sadness and distress to the speaker.
Time forgets but I'm not over you yet
Although time has passed, the speaker has not fully moved on from the person.
There's no sense of asking why
There's no logical reason to question why the situation unfolded as it did.
Until the tears run dry
The speaker should continue feeling emotions until the tears cease.
There's no one but you on my mind
The person occupies the speaker's thoughts exclusively.
Searching for a perfect ending that we'll never find
The speaker is seeking an ideal conclusion that may never materialize.
If we could make it work this time
If the relationship could be rekindled successfully this time, it would be ideal.
Years have flown by since you've been gone
Many years have passed since the person departed.
This broken heart of mine's been waiting too long
The speaker's heart has been broken and has endured a prolonged wait.
All alone without you I can't carry on
The speaker struggles to cope alone and needs the person to continue.
There's no sense of asking why
Similar to line 4, questioning the reasons may not provide a satisfying answer.
Until I'm there by your side
The speaker anticipates being with the person once again.
There's no one but you on my mind
The person remains the sole focus of the speaker's thoughts.
Searching for a perfect ending that we'll never find
The speaker is looking for an elusive happy conclusion to their story.
If we could make it work this time
Expresses a desire for a successful reunion this time.
We could plant tomorrow's dreams now together
If the relationship were to work now, they could build a future together.
In a garden to last forever more
A metaphor for a lasting and beautiful relationship that could be established.
All the flowers would grow
Symbolizes the growth of a positive relationship from shared efforts.
From the seeds we'd sow...
Continuing the metaphor, positive outcomes result from their joint efforts.
There's no one but you on my mind
The person continues to dominate the speaker's thoughts.
Searching for a perfect ending that we'll never find
Searching for a satisfying conclusion that may remain elusive.
If we could make it work this time
Hopes for success if they can make the relationship work this time.
There's no sense of asking why
Similar to lines 4 and 14, questioning may not provide a clear answer.
Until the tears run dry
Emotions should persist until the tears stop.
I could be there by your side
The speaker anticipates being with the person once again.
If you would only change your mind
If the person changes their mind, the speaker could be there for them.
If we could make it work this time
Expresses the desire for a successful reunion this time, echoing line 19.
