On My Mind Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sleeping through the day
I'm trying not to fade
But every single night
I've just been lying awake
'Cause I, I can't get you off my mind
The moment that we met, I didn't know it yet
That I was looking at a face I'll never forget
'Cause I, I can't get you off my mind
I can't get you off my mind

[Chorus]
Give me the chance to love you
I'll tell you the only reason why
'Cause you are on my mind
I want to know you feel it
What do you see when you close your eyes?
'Cause you are on my mind

[Verse 2]
I wanna be your best
I wanna be your worst
I wanna be the gravity in your universe
And I, I wanna be there to help you fly
I'll help you fly girl
Oh, the longer that I wait
The more that I'm afraid
That someone's gonna fool your heart and take you away
'Cause I, I finally realized
That I can't get you off my mind
[Chorus]
Give me the chance to love you
I'll tell you the only reason why
'Cause you are on my mind
I want to know you feel it
What do you see when you close your eyes?
'Cause you are on my mind

[Bridge]
Girl I can't live without you
I can't think straight without you, no
So tell me what should I do
If I can't get you off my mind

[Chorus]
Give me the chance to love you
I'll tell you the only reason why
'Cause you are on my mind
I gotta know you feel it
What do you see when you close your eyes?
'Cause you are on my mind

[Outro]
You're on my mind
You're on my mind all day and night, ohh
'Cause you are on my mind

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

This is a single from Cody Simpson’s second EP Coast To Coast, who was 14 years old at the time. Simpson talked about the album on Mojo TV, saying:

It’s definitely a sweet song, I guess. The concept of the actual song is that about a girl that you met and ever since you met her you haven’t been able to get her off your mind.

The music video takes place in a mall—a setting that either on his mind, or his team’s mind, because after this album came out, Simpson went on a Coast to Coast mall tour, performing at shopping arenas across the United States.
