I Can't Get You Off of My Mind 178

Can't get it out of my life, it jumps in my grocery cart
Can't get it out of my house, how long has my heart been this dark
You might be right I'm uptight, about love at first sight
Because years ago I was struck blind
It seems I can't get you off of my mind

We're both better than that and we both have a will that won't melt
This feeling is stronger than anything I've ever felt
Scented sweat in the air, far beyond all compare
Another mother-load left in the mine
It seems I can't get you off of my mind

Every day, every year, though you're gone you're still here
Making noises inside of my head
I want to stand up and shout that I haven't a doubt
That your memory is finally dead
But that isn't the case and I'm losing this race
Against time and a love ill defined
It seems I can't get you off of my mind

I could sing all about the last cigarette that I smoked
A lusty refrain about how passionate love somehow choked
Now I've murdered my thoughts with everything that I've bought
And none of it was worth a dime
It seems I can't get you off of my mind

When we grow old and grey and there's nothing to say to the wall
The dark side of memories croaks while the lighter side calls
When I finally go back into the glow
A note will be left behind
That says I can't get you off of my mind

All the feelings I've had, they don't feel that bad
Until I start to start feeling again
All the heat in my veins that used to drive me insane
Stole my keys and it is driving again
When it's all said and done, we had lots of fun
And the years have somehow been kind
But still I can't get you off of my mind
