Lyrics
I’ve got too much on my mind
I am overwhelmed with thoughts and concerns.
What’s a man to do
Expressing a sense of helplessness in dealing with the challenges.
My candle’s slowly burning
Describing a slow and steady decline or difficulty.
And the wick feels like a fuse
Feeling like time is running out or under pressure.
My laundry list of chores reads like a CVS receipt
List of responsibilities is long, likened to a detailed receipt.
And I’m praying this guitar will make ends meet
Hoping that music (guitar) will provide financial relief.
I’ve got too much on my mind
Reiteration of being overwhelmed with thoughts.
I’ve got too much on my mind
Continuing to emphasize the burden on the mind.
And if that weren’t enough
Adding more to the challenges faced.
My lady loves me madly
Acknowledging love from the partner, possibly adding emotional weight.
More than any woman should
Expressing the intensity of the partner's love.
I promise her the planet but I got no silver spoon
Promising grand things but lacking the means to fulfill them.
I hope she digs a motel honeymoon
Suggesting a modest or unconventional honeymoon due to financial constraints.
I’ve got too much on my mind
Repeated emphasis on having too much on the mind.
I’ve got too much on my mind
-I’ve got too much on my mind
-I’ve got too much on my mind
-Fogging up the glass where the light is meant to shine
Metaphorically obstructing clarity and positivity.
Concealing that sweet feeling, what it means to be alive
Concealing the joy and essence of life.
If only crystal balls could take possession of my eyes
Wishing for foresight to alleviate current struggles.
Then maybe I’d be alright
Uncertainty about whether foresight would truly help.
Or maybe I’ve got too much on my mind
Reflecting on the possibility of mental overload.
I’m writing songs again
Returning to creative pursuits as an outlet.
Words from my own head
-And I’m singing them for you
-These are gonna be some of the best years of my life
-So what’s the point of worrying all the time
Encouraging a positive perspective despite challenges.
Gotta hit the lows to reach the highs, yeah
Recognizing the necessity of experiencing lows to appreciate highs.
I’ve got too much on my mind
Reiterating the overwhelming nature of thoughts.
I’ve got too much on my mind
-I’ve got too much on my mind, yeah
-I’ve got too much on my mind
-Take it
Indicating a need to accept or handle the situation.
Too much, too much, too much yeah
Emphasizing the excessive mental load.
I’ve got
Repeating the sentiment of having too much on one's mind.
Too much
-On my
-Own damn
-Mind
Final confirmation of the preoccupation with thoughts.
