Lyrics
Do you remember
Initiating a reflection on past experiences or moments.
Pictures that we
Recalling shared images or memories.
Took on your lil' white polaroid
Referencing photographs captured on a small white Polaroid.
That summer evening
Setting the scene of a particular summer evening.
I'll never forget
Expressing a lasting impression of that evening.
All of the things I wish I said
Regret about unspoken words and missed opportunities.
Like how you make me feel like I'm
Describing the emotional impact of the relationship.
In a dream state
Desiring a dream-like, ideal state in the relationship.
Dream state
Reiteration of the desire for a dream state.
Yeah
Affirmation of the dream state desire.
I didn't want the clouds we were on
Reluctance to let go of positive moments or emotions.
To fade away
Expressing a wish for the positive feelings to endure.
Fade away
Reiteration of the desire for positive feelings to last.
Just wish you would stay
Expressing a desire for the other person to stay.
Stay with me
Requesting the other person to remain in the relationship.
Do you remember
Returning to memories of shared experiences.
When we used to be
Recalling a specific setting in the past.
Downstairs in your basement
Revisiting shared activities in a basement.
Watch movies all day
Highlighting a period of spending time together.
When I would hold you
Expressing physical closeness during movie-watching.
N' you'd hold me too
Mutual holding and emotional connection.
Time moving so fast
Reflection on the passage of time and its speed.
If only I knew
If only the speaker knew what the future held.
Things would end
Expressing a desire to prevent the inevitable end.
I wouldn't let you go
A commitment to holding onto the relationship.
All the times we had
Reflecting on past shared moments and experiences.
Wish we could go
Yearning to return to those moments.
Back
Expressing a wish to go back in time.
To when you made me feel like I'm
Reiterating the impact of the relationship on the speaker.
In a dream state
Reiteration of the desire for a dream-like state.
Dream state
Confirmation of the dream state desire.
Yeah
Affirmation of the dream-like feelings in the relationship.
I didn't want the clouds we were on
Reluctance to let go of positive emotions and experiences.
To fade away
Expressing a desire for positive feelings to endure.
Fade away
Reiteration of the desire for positive feelings to last.
Just wish that you stayed
Expressing a wish for the other person to have stayed.
Stayed with me
Repeating the plea for the other person to stay.
Yeah we made mistakes n' maybe lost our way
Acknowledging mistakes and a deviation from the path.
But when I think of you I picture better days
Despite mistakes, positive memories are associated with the person.
When it felt like we had almost everything
Reflecting on a time when everything seemed almost perfect.
I wonder where we'd be if you were here today
Contemplating the hypothetical present if the person were still present.
Love came & went but we had good intentions
Acknowledging the transient nature of love but with good intentions.
I could lay forever stay reminiscing
Expressing a desire to linger in fond memories.
Can't get get outta bed cause its you I'm missin'
Struggling to move on due to the absence of the person.
Now I know you ain't around, but can you feel the distance?
Recognizing the physical and emotional distance from the absent person.
