Lyrics
If I could simply forget
Expressing a desire to forget
The way you looked at me tonight
Recalling a specific moment of how someone looked
I would
Expressing willingness or intention
But how could I ever
Questioning the possibility of forgetting
Erase you from my mind
Difficulty in removing someone from thoughts
You know you're mine
Asserting ownership or attachment
You know I like the time
Enjoying time spent together
I spend with you
Stating time spent together isn't wasted
It's not a waste of my life
Reflecting on missed opportunities to express feelings
I wish I could've shown you
Desire to communicate the depth of emotions
What it meant to me
Recalling past aspirations
We used to dream about the time
Longing for a different outcome
We'd run away
Expressing irreparable change in emotions
I'll never feel the same
Struggling with love's complexities
Simply love's not for me and I'd
Rejecting simplicity in love
Like to show you some things
Desire to share personal experiences
But I know
Acknowledging a lack of mutual understanding
You'll never understand
Speculating on a missed opportunity for a different outcome
Maybe if you took my hand that
Suggesting a missed chance for connection
Night that we had it all planned
Reflecting on a planned moment
Maybe things would've happened
Contemplating alternative possibilities
Differently
Pondering on alternate scenarios
What do you dream about?
Questioning another person's dreams or aspirations
Do you even notice?
Uncertainty about someone's attention or awareness
Do you even care?
Doubting someone's concern or interest
I like to dream about when you come closer
Imagining a desired closeness with someone
I want you to know how I feel
Expressing a desire to communicate feelings
I know baby you just needed closure
Understanding someone's need for closure
That's not something I think is real
Questioning the authenticity of closure
And if you knew what you did to me
Speculating on someone's potential understanding if aware
Maybe you would've been set free
Suggesting potential liberation through understanding
Don't run away from me
Pleading to not avoid
I noticed when you called
Noticing a change in behavior during communication
You didn't seem so
Observing decreased enthusiasm
Excited to hear from me
Reiterating complexities in love
Simply love's not for me and I'd
Rejecting simplicity in love again
Like to show you some things
Desire to share personal experiences reemphasized
But I know
Reiteration of a lack of mutual understanding
You'll never understand
Reflecting on a missed chance for connection again
Maybe if you took my hand that
Revisiting a planned moment for connection
Night that we had it all planned
Speculating on alternate outcomes
Maybe things would've happened
Pondering alternative possibilities reiterated
Differently
Contemplating different outcomes reiterated
Oh, oh
Expression of emotional distress
Love's not the picture that you painted
Contrasting idealized love with reality
From the first day you were tainted
Implying a tainted perception of love from the start
With my love
Highlighting the intertwining of feelings
With my love
Reaffirming a desire to share experiences despite difficulties
With my love
-Wish I could show you things
