On My Mind Lyrics
[Alex Warren]
Maybe it’s the way the clouds are painted a perfect shade of yellow all across the sky
Maybe it’s the way the times are changing, and I’m stuck in the middle, frozen in a fire
But, baby, you’re on my mind
[Alex Warren]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[ROSÉ, Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Doors will open, doors will close
In the basement of my dreams, there’s somebody I know, mm
Yeah, I’m a fool, don’t be surprised I don’t ever think about you at all
But right now, I just need you to know
[Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Maybe it’s the way the clouds are painted
A perfect shade of yellow all across the sky
Or maybe it’s the way the times are changing
And I’m stuck in the middle, frozen in a fire
But, baby, you’re on my mind
[Alex Warren]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
You showed up
Graceful and casually
Our love was what it had to be
You showed up
Like you’re still attached to me
Our love was what it had to be
[Chorus: ROSÉ, Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Maybe it’s the way the clouds are painted
A perfect shade of yellow all across the sky
Maybe it’s the way the times are changing
And I’m stuck in the middle, frozen in a fire
But, baby, you’re on my mind
[Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Oh-oh, oh (You’re on, you’re on my mind)
Oh-oh, oh (You’re on, you’re on, you’re on)
Ooh, ooh-ooh (You’re on my mind)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (On my mind)
Alex’s vocal tone is vulnerable, and ROSÉ’s part brings an angelic softness to the song. Her voice gives an emotional depth, making this song not just a normal love song but an emotional experience. Her verse and vocals bring another perspective, like both people are remembering the other from their own angle. She brings softness, but also that haunting feeling of “what could’ve been.”
Everything from the song’s instrumentation to its vocals is minimalist, which makes its emotions even more raw and real.
Famous Phrases With Explanation
“Frozen in a fire”
This phrase is an intense contradiction, fire usually burns, but here the artist is saying that he/she is frozen despite being in the fire. This shows that he/she is in a stressful or emotional phase, like something is burning inside, but he can’t do anything.
“A perfect shade of yellow all across the sky”
This creates a dreamy and surreal image, just like everything is visually beautiful, but behind that beauty there is an emotional pain hidden. Yellow here may symbolize warmth, but it also hints at nostalgia.
“You’re on my mind”
Simple but extremely impactful line. It means that someone’s thought is so strong that it is imprinted in your subconscious. This line perfectly summarizes the core vibe of the song, it’s not about being together, it’s about emotionally being stuck with someone’s memory.
“The clouds are painted a perfect shade of yellow”
There is a surreal, dream-like imagery in this line. Yellow is usually the color of warmth and hope, but if it is also associated with memories then it becomes even more emotional. Like nature is also reminding you of a person.
