Off My Mind
Endless Thoughts: Wrestling with Unrequited Devotion
Lyrics
I'm living on the other side of you
I exist emotionally separated from you.
But no one seems to notice that you can barely focus
Others are unaware that you struggle to concentrate.
But I ask you is it really true
I question the accuracy of this perception.
Did you get the notion that you have my devotion?
Do you believe that you hold a special place in my affection?
I keep coughing too loud from the smoke
I audibly cough due to the thick smoke.
But I'll keep breathing the air that you choke
Despite the difficulty, I persist in inhaling the air you pollute.
Honey, I'll go away but I won't
I might distance myself, but I won't fully leave.
I'll be wasting my time
It would be a futile effort.
Tryna get you off my mind
I'm investing time and effort in attempting to forget you.
Tryna get you off my mind, mind
The struggle to remove you from my thoughts is ongoing.
And I'll have a good time trying
I find enjoyment in the process of trying to forget you.
When I'm always relying on you
I rely on you consistently.
To do the things I do
You perform tasks that are typically my responsibility.
And I keep coughing too loud from the smoke
Repetition of the struggle to breathe amidst smoke.
But I'll keep breathing the air that you choke
I persist in inhaling the air you contaminate.
Honey, I'll go away but I won't
Despite potential separation, a complete departure is unlikely.
I'll be wasting my time
Efforts to forget you are perceived as a waste of time.
Tryna get you off my mind
Continuing the struggle to erase you from my thoughts.
Tryna get you off my mind, mind
Attempting to free my mind from thoughts of you is ongoing.
And I'll have a good time trying
Finding enjoyment in the process of trying to forget you.
When I'm always relying on you
I consistently depend on you to perform my tasks.
To do the things I do
You fulfill responsibilities that are inherently mine.
So I'll keep on going till it gets too much
I persist until the burden becomes overwhelming.
But it just seems that it ain't ever enough
Efforts seem endless, but they are insufficient.
But I will keep on going till you call my bluff
I'll continue until you challenge my sincerity.
Cause it's never enough, no it's never enough for me
The current situation is unsatisfactory for me.
I'm living on the other side of you
Reiteration of emotional separation.
But no one seems to notice that you can barely focus
Others are still unaware of your focus struggles.
But I ask you is it really true
Questioning the accuracy of perceptions again.
Did you get the notion that you have my devotion?
Reiteration of devotion query.
I keep coughing too loud from the smoke
Repetition of audible coughing amid smoke.
But I'll keep breathing the air that you choke
Continued inhalation of polluted air.
Honey, I'll go away but I won't
Potential separation, but not a complete departure.
I'll be wasting my time
Efforts to forget you are perceived as a waste of time.
Tryna get you off my mind
Continuing the struggle to erase you from my thoughts.
Tryna get you off my mind, mind
Attempting to free my mind from thoughts of you is ongoing.
