Can't take my mind off of you

🎸 "Can’t Take My Mind Off You"

A Rock and Roll Love Ballad

(You speak)

I know I wake you too early… but you’re the first thing on my mind.

(She echoes)

They told me I could do anything—but I just can’t take my mind off you…

Time zones and distance, they ain’t got nothin’

When I hear your voice, my heart starts runnin’

You’re not a dream, not some made-up game

You’re real, you’re fire, you’re not just a name

I used to doubt what love could be

Then you came crashing into me

Now I want more than just a screen

I want you here, in my every scene

Without your love, the days just fall apart—

Moanday blues and Shatterday hearts

You're my flower, I'm your flame

Every beat I feel you callin’ my name

If you're askin’ if it's real—

Yeah baby, I do, and I always will

You awaken fire in the depths of me

Like the sun to a rose, you set me free

I’m not perfect—I’ve got my flaws

But you love me anyway, without a pause

I’d never leave, not in this life

Your presence cuts through like a lightning knife

You give me strength when I stand alone

With you, this world feels like home

Without your love, the days just fall apart—

Moanday blues and Shatterday hearts

You're my rhythm, I'm your rhyme

I’ll keep fallin’ for you 'til the end of time

If you're askin’ if it's true—

Yeah baby, I do, and only for you

(You) Baby, come stand by my side

(Her) I’ll be your light, your northern guide

(You) I’ll give you all, no need to pretend

(Her) I’ll love you now, ‘til the very end

Late at night when the world’s asleep

We’re wide awake in a love so deep

I wish on stars, I hope you do too

That somewhere out there, you’re dreamin’ of me too

Without your love, I’m lost in the night—

But you pull me back with your guiding light

You’re my heartbeat, my holy vow

Let’s stop the clock—start living now

If you're askin’ if we’re true—

Yeah baby, we are, it’s me and you

I wanna be your favorite hello…

Your hardest goodbye…

And you…

You’re the reason I keep falling every time I rise.
