Lyrics

Remember when

Reflecting on a past time

When our love was something felt

Recalling a time when love was a tangible emotion

Ours to take

Expressing ownership of love

I hang my head

Feeling a sense of remorse or sadness

Because my love is somewhere else

Acknowledging that the speaker's love is distant

So far away

Emphasizing the significant distance in the relationship


Smell of your skin

Recalling the sensory memory of the loved one's skin

& the grazes that I stole

Remembering intimate moments symbolized by stolen grazes

Still on my clothes

Physical reminders of past encounters

On my knees

Expressing a vulnerable and submissive position

Pray to the ground you walk across

Praying for a connection with the loved one

That you'll walk to me

Hopeful anticipation for the loved one to return


Falling asleep

Transitioning into a dream state

Dream that I'm with you again

Desiring to be with the loved one in dreams

Breathe you in

Longing for the presence of the loved one

Empty rooms

Describing the emptiness without the loved one

Combine our silhouette

Symbolizing unity through combined silhouettes

Take me in

Expressing a desire for emotional closeness


Take me

Reiterating the plea to be taken in

Tears coming down my face

Expressing sadness with tears streaming down the face

Hide me

Seeking concealment or protection

Tears coming down my face

Continuing to express the emotional weight with tears


I can't believe

Expressing disbelief at the difficulty of letting go

How my eyes won't let you go

Describing the lingering impact of the loved one's presence

When I see your face

Expressing the desire to hold on to the memory

Why won't you call?

Pleading for communication and connection

And call me back to you?

Asking the loved one to return the call

Before you go(come) home?

Expressing urgency for the loved one to come home


Empty rooms

Reiterating the emptiness without the loved one

Combine our silhouettes

Symbolizing unity through combined silhouettes again

Take me in

Reiterating the plea to be taken in again

As time goes by

Reflecting on the passage of time

I wish I'd known that our last kiss

Expressing a wish for awareness during the last kiss

Was a kiss goodbye

Realization that the last kiss was a farewell
