Lyrics
Will you remember me when we get old
Reflecting on the longevity of memories and questioning if they will be remembered in old age.
Will you laugh about good times and all the lies that we told
Wondering if laughter will be shared over past good times and the lies told.
There's only 3 types of memories, oh
Highlighting three types of memories: those that stay, fade, or are already gone.
They either staying or they fading or they already gone
Exploring the transience of memories, categorizing them into staying, fading, or already gone.
Which one am I
Pondering the nature of personal memories and questioning which category they fall into.
Which one am I
-Am I a once in a while or every night
Uncertainty about the frequency of being remembered, possibly as an occasional or constant presence.
Maybe I'm long gone
-I don't know why
Expressing confusion about personal significance compared to someone else's frequent presence in memories.
But you're an every 10 minutes maybe 5
-I know you're fine and I get that
Acknowledging the passage of time and reflecting on lost moments, wondering if the other person reminisces.
Lost so much time we don't get back
-And I'm wondering if you think back
-Gotta lot on my list but I wish that
Expressing a desire for a slower-paced and nostalgic experience, wishing for shared experiences.
We could go slow with a trip back
-Maybe hit the coast and whip back
-Now I know, now I know
Realization that time passes quickly, emphasizing its fleeting nature.
That time really go little bit fast
-I might just light this feel hazy
Anticipating challenges in life and acknowledging the potential chaos, especially in one's thoughts.
I know this life gonna get crazy
-My mind all the time it just wake me
-When I'm in bed
Describing the restlessness of the mind when attempting to sleep, dealing with intrusive thoughts.
I put my head to the pillow
-Try to keep it down keep it mellow
-But I keep tr-tr-tr-trippin' up in my head
-Will you remember me when we get old
Repeating the earlier reflection on the three types of memories and questioning personal categorization.
Will you laugh about good times and all the lies that we told
-There's only 3 types of memories, oh
-They either staying or they fading or they already gone
-Which one am I
-Which one am I
Expressing uncertainty about the frequency and duration of being remembered compared to someone else.
Am I a once in a while or every night
-Maybe I'm long gone
-I don't know why
-But you're an every 10 minutes maybe 5
-Where the waves get rough we're leaping in
Metaphorically describing taking risks and glimpsing into a good life, reminiscing about youthful experiences.
Keyhole to good life peepin' in
-We were way too young had us sneak us in
-Spark up that
-We're sleeping in
-But it get a little loud
Expressing a desire to quiet the mind and questioning the selective nature of memory.
I wish I could turn down my thoughts some nights
-I gotta wonder what it is that picks what sticks and what drops
-They might get lost slip your mind
Reflecting on the impermanence of memories, acknowledging their susceptibility to being forgotten over time.
Get swallowed up by the time
-Impermanent by design
-They come and go with the tide
Emphasizing the ebb and flow of memories like the tide, capturing moments that come and go.
The moments pass by remember those times
-September to July
-Alive by the O'side
-Will you remember me when we get old
Repeating the central theme of questioning one's place in memories and the uncertainty of their longevity.
Will you laugh about good times and all the lies that we told
-There's only 3 types of memories, oh
-They either staying or they fading or they already gone
-Which one am I
-Which one am I
-Am I a once in a while or every night
-Maybe I'm long gone
-I don't know why
-But you're an every 10 minutes maybe 5
-Maybe 5
Reinforcing the uncertainty of how frequently the speaker will be remembered, using "Maybe 5" as a reminder of the ambiguity.
