You Just Forgot
Unforgotten Echoes: Mindy Smith's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
Well, I know that you love me
Expressing certainty about being loved.
I know you think of me a lot
Acknowledging frequent thoughts from the other person.
And I know that you care
Acknowledging care from the other person.
And you wish I was there when I'm not
Expressing a desire for presence when apart.
From the first of the year to the last of December
Describing the passage of time throughout the year.
It seems all I do is try not to remember
Highlighting difficulty in trying to forget.
That you just forgot
Stating the conclusion that the other person forgot.
Yeah, you just forgot
Reiterating the belief that forgetting occurred.
Well, I'm sure that you miss me
Expressing confidence in being missed eventually.
And I know that someday you'll be back
Anticipating the return of the other person.
I must have dissected your mind
Reflecting on analyzing the other person's thoughts.
Wondering why didn't I think of that
Questioning why certain thoughts or actions were not considered.
And the first thing I do when the light hits the window
Describing the immediate thoughts upon waking up.
Is think about you and then think it's so simple
Perceiving the simplicity of the thoughts about the other person.
As you just forgot
Reiterating the belief that forgetting occurred.
Yeah, you just forgot
Emphasizing the conviction that forgetting took place.
I bet you tied a string on your finger
Suggesting a symbolic act to aid memory.
Left the trail some time behind you
Indicating a trail left behind, possibly of memories.
You keep on going on your pillow to remind you
Speculating on a habitual act to remember.
To remind you
Repetition for emphasis on the act of remembering.
That you just forgot
Reiterating the belief that forgetting occurred.
Yeah, you just forgot
Emphasizing the conviction that forgetting took place.
