Story Behind The Song

I wrote this when I wanted to find a love song to sing that subtly implies affection without explicitly stating it, and I realized that I didn't know of any that existed. So I wrote one of my own.

Song Description

Why I Don't Mind speaks of this growing fondness for a person, a friend. It entails thoughts-- that are pleading to be heard-- of admiration for all of the little things about him/her. At the same time, you try your hardest to repress them, in fear of meddling with how great things already are. It's very "still waters run deep" and like reaching for something beautiful that you feel compelled to touch, yet are afraid to ripple.

Lyrics

[Verse]
Perhaps it's clear as day
What all of this implies
But I really like your laugh
And you've got the kindest eyes
I'm caught up in the way you walk
And the thoughtful things you do
For me and all those many
Who mean something to you
I love your sudden humming
In the midst of silent pause
And the way your hands are always poised
To initiate applause

[Hook]
You may already know by how I look away
These words I just can't bring myself to say

[Chorus]
So here's a melody
Where the rest will be
Between the lines
And as you may see
I love your company
And I don't mind
How much you're on my mind
How much you're on my mind

[Verse]
I like that angle of your face
When you're staring at your shoes
Yet I love how you go barefoot
When the weather lets you choose
I get lost in our talk
And your thought provoking words
And that music off your fingertips
Is like nothing that I've heard
You do everything so easily
With this unassuming air
Yet with your every gesture
I can tell how much you care

[Hook]
What's beyond me is your flair for
Growing on me more and more

[Chorus]
So here's a melody
Where the rest will be
Between the lines
And as you may see
I love your company
And I don't mind
How much you're on my mind
How much you're on...

[Bridge]
Certain from the moment
You walked through the door
That I have never known
Just anyone quite like you before
And I just want to thank you
For that first hello
Because if you had never dared
Oh, we'll never know

[Chorus]
So I'll bite my tongue
And then leave this tune
Somewhere for you to find
And assume
That you will realize soon
Why I don't mind
How much you're on my mind
Why I don't mind
How much you're on my mind
Why I don't mind...
