  • I've tried to leave it all behind me
    But I woke up and there they were beside me
    And I don't believe it but I guess it's true
    Some feelings, they can travel too
    Oh there it is again, sitting on my chest
    Makes it hard to catch my breath
    I scramble for the light to change

    You're always on my mind
    You're always on my mind

    And I never minded being on my own
    Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home
    To be where you are
    But even closer to you, you seem so very far
    And now I'm reaching out with every note I sing
    And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind
    Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
    Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here

    And if I stay home, I don't know
    There'll be so much that I'll have to let go
    You're disappearing all the time
    But I still see you in the light
    For you, the shadows fight
    And it's beautiful but there's that tug in the sight
    I must stop time traveling, you're always on my mind

    You're always on my mind
    You're always on my mind

    And I never minded being on my own
    Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home
    To be where you are
    But even closer to you, you seem so very far
    And now I'm reaching out with every note I sing
    And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind
    Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
    Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here

    We all need something watching over us
    Be it the falcons, the clouds or the crows
    And then the sea swept in and left us all speechless
    Speechless

    And I never minded being on my own
    Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home
    To be where you are
    But even closer to you, you seem so very far
    And now I'm reaching out with every note I sing
    And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind
    Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
    Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here

    Wish that you were here
    Wish that you were here
    Wish that you were here
    I wish that you Writer/s: ANDREW WYATT, EMILE HAYNIE, FLORENCE WELCH
