## **Lyrics**

**Verse 1**

And it hit me like a lightning bolt

I know, I know the feeling

When I'm just about to lose control

I know, I know the feeling

**Pre-Chorus**

I don't wanna be another one of your loves

I don't wanna be another one of your loves

'Cause you never wanna get too close

Right now I'm on your lips, but...

**Chorus**

You are always on my mind

You're always on my mind

You're always on my mind

You are always on my mind

Like every day and night

You're always on my mind

*(Always on my mind)*

**Verse 2**

Scared of thunder when I hear it calling

I know, I know the danger

You're looking at me like the sky is falling

I know, I know the danger

**Pre-Chorus**

I don't wanna be another one of your loves

I don't wanna be another one of your loves

Got me feeling like a lightning bolt

Right now I'm on your lips, but...

**Chorus**

You are always on my mind

You're always on my mind

You're always on my mind

You are always on my mind

Like every day and night

You're always on my mind

*(Always on my mind)*

**Bridge**

You're like a holiday

I hope it lasts a lifetime

And I'm not scared to say

That you are always on my mind

**Interlude**

*(Always on my mind)*

*(Always on my mind)*

**Breakdown**

I don't wanna be another one of your loves

I don't wanna be another one of your loves

I don't wanna be another one of your loves

I don't wanna be another one, another one, another one-

You are always on my mind

You're always on my mind

You're always on my mind

*(Always on my mind)*

**Chorus**

You are always on my mind

Like every day and night

You're always on my mind

*(Always on my mind)*

**Outro**

You're like a holiday

I hope it lasts a lifetime

And I'm not scared to say

That you are always on my mind

I know we'll make it, babe

I hope it lasts a lifetime

And I'm not scared to say

That you are always on my mind

## **Writing and development**

Always On My Mind was written sometime between 2016 and 2019 during the development of Dedicated, with songwriters Ben Romans and CJ Baran. Ultimately, the song would fail to make the cut for Dedicated and instead see its release as part of Dedicated Side B.

#### **Original version**

An alternate version of the song is said to exist by industry insiders, described as 'disco influenced' featuring a different production and a string arrangement - the song was reworked entirely prior to its official release.

## **Announcement and release**

Whilst no official announcement was made by Jepsen, this version of the album was made available to purchase and preview from Japanese music retailer CDJapan from as early as May 23rd 2020.
