Remember Me
Eternal Echoes: Recalling Love and Loss at Seventeen
Lyrics
Do you remember me?
Asking if the listener recalls the speaker
Back to the night, back when we were seventeen
Reflecting on the past when both were seventeen
When you played the beat and I sang the melody
Recalling a moment when music played a role in their connection
'Cause I can't seem to shake, can't shake the memories
Expressing difficulty in forgetting memories
Do you remember me?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the desire to be remembered
'Cause I need you to know
Stating the importance of the listener in the speaker's life
You meant more to me, more to me than you know
Highlighting the depth of the emotional connection
Though times come between us, years come and go
Acknowledging the passage of time and challenges in their relationship
There's something I need to tell you, now we're alone
Expressing a need to communicate something important in private
I wanna know do you remember me?
Reiterating the question, seeking confirmation of being remembered
Do you remember me?
Repetition for emphasis, underlining the importance of remembrance
Do you remember me?
-Do you remember me?
-Do you remember me?
-Those days in the summer, days in the summer when
Recalling past moments of conflict, reconciliation, and love in the summer
We'd fight and make up and then making love again
-Who knew those days in the sun, days in the sun would end
-Do you remember them?
Questioning if the listener remembers those past sunny days
'Cause I need you to know
Reiteration of the listener's significance in the speaker's life
You meant more to me, more to me than you know
Emphasizing the emotional value of the listener
Though times come between us, years come and go
Recognizing challenges over time, affirming enduring feelings
There's something I need to tell you, now we're alone
Expressing a need to convey something privately in the current moment
I wanna know
Continued exploration of the theme of remembrance and emotional connection
Stay close
Encouraging proximity and emotional closeness
Stay close
-Stay close
-Come closer to me
Continued exploration of the theme of remembrance and emotional connection
We lost it all, but we still have everything
Affirming the importance of the present relationship despite past losses
Long as I got you and you got me
-I remember you
Remembering specific qualities of the listener, expressing regret for parting
With that fire in your eyes, the lights and the way you move
-So why did we walk away, when we had so much to lose
-You know it's never too late, 'cause I still remember you
-I remember you
Continued exploration of the theme of remembrance and emotional connection
And now we're twenty-three, darling
Reflecting on the current age and suggesting a return to the past
Let's go back to the night, the night we were seventeen
-Back when you played the beat and I sang the melody
-'Cause I can't seem to shake, can't shake the memories
-Do you remember me?
Repeating the question, seeking confirmation in the present context
'Cause I need you to know
Reaffirming the emotional significance of the listener
You meant more to me, more to me than you know
Reiterating the depth of emotional connection over time
Though times come between us, years come and go
Acknowledging the passage of years and challenges in the relationship
There's something I need to tell you, now we're alone
Expressing the urgency of conveying something important in privacy
I wanna know do you remember me?
Final confirmation-seeking inquiry about remembrance
Do you remember me?
Repeating the central theme of remembrance
Do you remember me?
-Do you remember me?
-Stay close
Encouraging physical and emotional closeness in the present
Stay close
-Stay close
-Come closer to me
-We lost it all, but we still have everything
Acknowledging past losses but affirming the enduring value of the current relationship
Long as I got you and you got me
-Do you remember me?
Final repetition of the question, seeking a conclusive answer
