Think About That
Navigating Love's Uncertainties: Think About That by Jack Jones
Lyrics
The radio plays softly in the back
The background ambiance is filled with soft music from the radio.
I can't quite remember where I'm at
The speaker is in a state of confusion or disorientation, unsure of their current location or situation.
I always seem to lose myself with you
When with the person addressed in the song, the speaker tends to lose their sense of identity or direction.
I'm finding out it feels so good to do
Discovering that being with this person feels remarkably pleasurable or right.
It's late at night the world has gone to bed
It's nighttime, and the rest of the world is asleep.
We sit up in my room you pick my head
Both individuals are in a private space, possibly contemplating or discussing things.
I'm not always good at what to say
The speaker struggles with expressing themselves adequately.
I'll try my best to not make a mistake
The speaker attempts not to make mistakes in communication or interaction.
You ask me what I think about the stars
The person inquires about the speaker's thoughts on celestial bodies.
Who I am and what we really are
The individual seeks insights into the speaker's identity and the nature of their relationship.
You ask me if I'd ever run away
The question arises about the speaker's willingness to escape or leave everything behind.
Leave it all behind to make a change
Leaving behind current circumstances to initiate a change is being considered.
But If you ask me what would happen
Contemplating the consequences if the relationship were to end.
If we didn't last
The speaker avoids dwelling on what might happen if the relationship doesn't endure.
Well I just don't think about that
The speaker actively avoids thinking about the potential end of the relationship.
There are times I think a bit too hard
At times, the speaker overthinks or delves too deeply into various scenarios.
Scenarios that drift a bit to far
Imagining situations that stray too far from reality.
There's nothing waiting on the other side
There's an acknowledgment that there might not be anything worthwhile if they were to leave the current situation.
I'll try to keep all between the lines
Attempting to maintain boundaries or control over thoughts and emotions.
I think about the flowers in your hair
Reflecting on the small details or characteristics of the person, even when the person seems indifferent.
And what it really means when you don't care
The speaker ponders the significance of the other person's lack of concern or care.
You want so bad to see inside my head
There's a desire from the other person to understand the speaker's thoughts.
I'll lay it all in front of you instead
The speaker is willing to reveal everything openly instead of keeping thoughts hidden.
You ask me what I dream about at night
Questioning the contents of the speaker's dreams during nighttime.
As we sit up in the early morning light
Discussing topics in the early hours of the morning.
You ask me if I miss where I grew up
Wondering if the speaker misses their hometown, people, and familiar places.
And the people and the places that I love
Reflecting on the speaker's connections and affections for their roots.
But if you ask me what would happen
Similar to line 13, contemplating the outcome if the relationship were to end.
If we didn't last
The speaker maintains the stance of avoiding thoughts about the potential breakup.
Well I just don't think about that
Reiterating the avoidance of contemplating the potential end of the relationship.
I just don't think about that
A firm statement expressing the deliberate avoidance of thinking about the possible dissolution of the relationship.
