Lyrics
When I was involved with you
Reflecting on a past time when the speaker was connected romantically with someone
I'd tell you all the things only lovers do
Expressing the openness and intimacy shared, revealing personal details only lovers would share
When I was involved with you
Continuation of the recollection of being romantically involved with the person
I'd run my fingertips all over your body
Describing tactile affection, physically exploring the partner's body with fingertips
You would do the same for me to
Highlighting the mutual nature of physical exploration in the relationship
When I was involved with you
Reiterating the past connection and involvement with the person
I'd take you on a trip in your mind
Suggesting a metaphorical journey into the partner's thoughts and emotions
If you'd free your mind, anytime (Anytime)
Encouraging the partner to free their mind for a shared mental journey anytime
When I was involved with you
Recalling a time when the speaker felt a deep connection, seeing past, present, and future together
I'd swear that I could see my past, my present, and my future too
Expressing admiration and commitment, swearing to perceive the entirety of the relationship
I couldn't take my eyes of you when you walked into the room
Noting the captivation and attention given to the partner upon entering the room
I guess that I'm just reminiscing
Acknowledging that the reminiscing is a reflection on the past involvement
When I was involved with you
Repeating the sentiment of being involved with the person
When I was involved with you
Emphasizing the past involvement and the significance of that time
When I was involved with you
Repetition to underscore the period when the speaker was romantically engaged with the person
When I was involved with you
Reaffirming the past connection with the partner
When I was involved with you
Continued emphasis on the speaker's involvement with the person
I'd whisper all my fantasies
Sharing intimate thoughts and desires privately with the partner
I wouldn't tell another soul
Commitment to keeping the shared fantasies confidential, not disclosing to others
When I was involved with you
Expressing the speaker's elevated status among friends due to the romantic involvement
I'd be the envy of all my friends
Acknowledging the positive impact of the relationship on the speaker's social standing
Never did I think our love could grow old
Expressing surprise that the speaker never thought their love would age or diminish
But time would change you just as it would change me too
Acknowledging the inevitability of change over time in both the speaker and the partner
I guess that I'm just reminiscing
Reiterating that the reflections are nostalgic in nature
When I was involved with you
Repeating the idea of reminiscing about the past involvement with the person
When I was involved with you
Reaffirming the speaker's emotional connection and engagement in the past
When I was involved with you
Continued emphasis on the speaker's past involvement with the person
When I was involved with you
Reiterating the sentiment of being involved with the person
When I was involved with you
Further emphasis on the past connection and involvement
When I was involved with you
Repetition to underscore the significance of the speaker's past romantic involvement
When I was involved with you
Continued emphasis on the speaker's involvement with the person
When I was involved with you
Reaffirming the speaker's past connection and engagement with the person
