Back Of My Mind

Christopher Cross

Transposer:

Intro: (3x) ( ) I woke up to my world this morning Took a long look in the looking glass Last night I guess I had one or too many Somebody tried to tell me I had no class ( ) What ever happened to me Maybe I’ve been living on lies Never really had a dream come true Then again I guess I never really tried Now the years all slip away And things are like they’re gonna stay All the roads I didn’t take are just One more thing in the back of my mind Taking space and time ( ) Wish I’d finished that book I never started Maybe that’s the story of my life Should’ve learned to play that saxophone So I could tell my song to the streetlight ( ) Shouldn’t have been so stuck on my own Could’ve had a wife and a child Should’ve made that house a home I don’t know why my life is so wild Now the years all slip away And things are like they’re gonna stay All the chances I didn’t take are just One more thing in the back of my mind Taking space and time One more thing in the back of my mind Solo: ( ) (3x) ( ) (3x) ( ) So I’m thinking about a walk in the sunlight I’ve got to get my shadow behind me Try and make some sense of it all With my feet on the ground and my heart still free As the years will slip away I’ll let the cards fall where they may And all the roads I didn’t take will be just One more thing in the back of my mind As the years will slip away And the cards fall as they may All the chances I didn’t take will be just One more thing in the back of my mind Taking space and time One more thing in the back of my mind One more thing in the back of my mind...

All right

La chanson évoque le sentiment de regret et de réflexion sur une vie que l’on aurait pu vivre différemment. L’auteur se rend compte, après une nuit mouvementée, qu'il a laissé passer de nombreuses opportunités sans jamais vraiment s’engager dans ses rêves. Il se demande pourquoi il n’a pas pris certaines voies, et ces choix non faits l’assaillent comme de simples pensées qui occupent son esprit. En parallèle, il aspire à se libérer de ses doutes, à avancer et à trouver du sens dans sa vie actuelle, tout en acceptant que le passé ne changera pas. Ce contraste entre le regard rétrospectif et le désir de vivre pleinement ici et maintenant donne à la chanson une profondeur touchante.
