You're On My Mind Lyrics
Pointless sighs
And lonely nights
Bottomless loves
And phony heights
There's a hole in my story
There's a hole in my heart
And this storyteller is falling apart
Feeling neglected
I let go of myself
It's unexpected
But I'm going home by myself
Tears are welling in the pits of my eyes
You're on my mind
Pointless sighs
And lonely nights
Hope inside us taking flight
There's a hole in my story
There's a hole in my shoe
And this storyteller is coming unglued
Feeling neglected
I let go of myself
It's unexpected
But I'm going home by myself
Tears are welling in the pits of my eyes
You're on my mind
And lonely nights
Bottomless loves
And phony heights
There's a hole in my heart
And this storyteller is falling apart
I let go of myself
It's unexpected
But I'm going home by myself
Tears are welling in the pits of my eyes
You're on my mind
And lonely nights
Hope inside us taking flight
There's a hole in my shoe
And this storyteller is coming unglued
I let go of myself
It's unexpected
But I'm going home by myself
Tears are welling in the pits of my eyes
You're on my mind

To me, this song is about one of two things.
I can see this being about someone in a long distance relationship who is struggling to cope with not seeing their loved one, and their loved one is always on their mind. He hopes that he'll get through it and they'll see each other again soon, 'Hope inside us taking flight.' But he feels alone and hopeless, and he's letting go of himself.
He's broken up with someone, and he's struggling to get over it, even thought he's trying to find new people. 'It's unexpected, but I'm going home by myself.' To me, that means he was expecting to find someone new but he's going home by himself because he can't face seeing other people while he still loves who he's broken up with.
Just my interpretation though.
