Alex Warren & ROSÉ “On My Mind” Lyrics

Translation

[Verse 1: Alex Warren]
Hidden underneath the floor
In the attic of my dreams there’s somebody I adore
I could smile, I could lie
Say, “I never think about you at all,” most of the time

[Chorus: Alex Warren]
Maybe it’s the way the clouds are painted
A perfect shade of yellow all across the sky
Maybe it’s the way the times are changin’
And I’m stuck in the middle, frozen in a fire
But, baby, you’re on my mind

[Post-Chorus: Alex Warren]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh

[Verse 2: ROSÉ, Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Doors will open, doors will close
In the basement of my dreams thеre’s somebody I ignore, mm
Yеah, I’m a fool, don’t be surprised
I don’t ever think about you at all
But right now, I just need you to know

[Chorus: Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Maybe it’s the way the clouds are painted
A perfect shade of yellow all across the sky
Or maybe it’s the way the times are changin’
And I’m stuck in the middle, frozen in a fire
But, baby, you’re on my mind

[Post-Chorus: Alex Warren]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh

[Bridge: Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
You showed up, graceful and casually
Our love was what it had to be
You showed up like you’re still attached to me
Our love was what it had to be

[Chorus: Alex Warren & ROSÉ, ROSÉ]
Maybe it’s the way the clouds are painted
A perfect shade of yellow all across the sky
Maybe it’s the way the times are changin’
And I’m stuck in the middle, frozen in a fire
But, baby, you’re on my mind

[Post-Chorus: Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Ooh, ooh-ooh (You’re on, you’re on my mind), ooh, ooh-ooh (You’re on, you’re on, you’re on)
Ooh-ooh, ooh (You’re on my mind)
Ooh, ooh-ooh (On my mind), ooh, ooh-ooh (You’re on, you’re on my mind)
Ooh-ooh, ooh (You’re on my mind)

[Outro: Alex Warren & ROSÉ]
Baby, you’re on my mind

Lyrically, the song explores the emotional push and pull of unresolved feelings in a fading relationship. Warren’s verse—“I could smile, I could lie, say I never think about you at all”—captures the denial and lingering attachment, while ROSÉ’s part adds depth, highlighting the simultaneous yearning and emotional distance between two people. Vivid imagery like “clouds painted a perfect shade of yellow” and “frozen in a fire” conveys the emotional confusion of love in transition. Their vocal interplay throughout the chorus and bridge underscores the song’s central tension: the enduring presence of someone you can’t let go of.
