Lyrics
Holding onto memories of you
Holding onto memories of a past relationship.
I can’t forget days alone in my room
Recalling moments spent alone, possibly in contemplation or sadness.
Picture her standing there
Visualizing the presence of a person in the memories.
Playing with her hair
Describing a specific memory of the person playing with her hair.
You were sitting right beside me
Highlighting proximity but emotional distance with the person.
I wanted to hold your hand
Expressing a desire for physical closeness, like holding hands.
You said this would never end, oh
Recalling a promise that the relationship would last forever.
How things don’t go to plan
Reflecting on the unpredictability and disappointments in life.
And now I'm looking for something to say
Searching for words to communicate feelings after the breakup.
To you baby you got me wanting to go insane
Expressing emotional turmoil caused by the person.
Thinking about all those times I held you and everything felt okay
Revisiting positive memories when everything felt okay.
It's funny how you change your mind
Commenting on the unpredictability of changing feelings.
First you leave then you wanna stay
Noting the contradictory actions of leaving and wanting to stay.
Don’t you dare think
Warning the person not to assume the relationship is over.
Things are over
Stressing the similarity between the speaker and the person, both struggling with sobriety.
You’re just like me
Questioning if the person thought about the speaker during the summer.
Never sober
Comparing the person to a forgettable face.
Did you think of me in the summer
Acknowledging the person as just another contact with no connection.
Cause I thought about you in the fall
Expressing the speaker's thoughts about the person during a different season.
You're just a face I can’t remember
Emphasizing the person's role as an unmemorable face.
Another number I can’t call
Labeling the person as another contact the speaker cannot reach out to.
And now you're looking for someone to save
Describing the person's search for salvation from their current state.
Don’t you ever come closer you’ve made me this way
Warning the person to stay away as their actions contributed to the speaker's current state.
Keeping in mind all those time you said that everything would be okay
Recalling the person's assurances that everything would be okay.
What happened to those promises, when you walked away?
Questioning the fulfillment of promises made by the person upon their departure.
