Don't Need You Now
Moving On Melodies: Northern Sand's Journey Beyond Heartbreak
Lyrics
Yesterday I told myself that i'm not gonna think about you anymore
Expressing the decision to stop thinking about the person from the past.
Well today I wrote this song, so that didn't really work out
Acknowledging the failure of the attempt to forget through writing a song.
I've still got your CD's in my room
Keeping physical reminders of the person, such as CDs, in the room.
I've still got your things on my floor
Mentioning personal belongings of the person still present on the floor.
I look at my guitar, I remember sitting next to you, your impatient smile
Reflecting on memories associated with a guitar and the person's smile.
We sit on the bench down by the cemetery
Recalling a specific location, a bench by the cemetery, possibly significant to the relationship.
We walk all day till we couldn't feel our legs
Describing shared experiences of walking until exhaustion.
Then we get home, sleep and do it all again
Summarizing the routine of walking, returning home, sleeping, and repeating.
But I don't care, well at least I'm trying not to
Expressing indifference or an attempt not to care about the past relationship.
My life will go on and I'll find someone and I don't need you now
Looking forward to a future where life continues and a new connection is found.
And I don't care, well that's what I keep telling myself
Reiterating the claim of not caring, possibly to convince oneself.
I'm gonna forget how it felt in your bed and I don't need you now
Committing to forgetting intimate moments shared in bed.
Yeah
Simple affirmation, possibly indicating determination.
I don't think your parents liked me, I wasn't such a big fan either
Speculating on the disapproval from the person's parents and reciprocating the sentiment.
We never went out, I didn't know your friends
Noting the lack of social involvement with each other's friends.
You didn't know mine either but that doesn't matter in the end
Asserting that mutual ignorance of each other's friends is inconsequential.
We sit on the bench down by the cemetery
Repeating the mention of the significant location, the bench by the cemetery.
We walk all day till we couldn't feel our legs
Reiterating the shared experience of walking until physical numbness.
Then we get home, sleep and do it all again
Repeating the routine of returning home, sleeping, and repeating activities.
But I don't care, well at least I'm trying not to
Expressing an attempt not to care or be affected by the past.
My life will go on and I'll find someone and I don't need you now
Anticipating a future where life moves on, and a new connection is established.
And I don't care, well that's what I keep telling myself
Reiterating the claim of not caring, emphasizing self-conviction.
I'm gonna forget how it felt in your bed and I don't need you now
Committing to forgetting the sensations experienced in bed with the person.
One more chance could I be given? I don't think you're worth believing
Questioning the worthiness of giving the person another chance.
One more chance? No this is for a reason, I don't think you're worth believing
Declaring a lack of belief in the person's worthiness for another chance.
One more chance could I be given? I don't think you're worth believing
Repeating the skepticism about giving the person another chance.
I don't think you're worth forgiving
Expressing an unwillingness to forgive the person.
I think it's time I should be leaving now
Deciding it's time to leave, possibly signifying the end of the relationship.
I don't need you now, I need you now
Repeatedly expressing the current need for the person despite earlier claims of not needing them.
I don't need you now, I need you now
-I don't need you now, I need you now
-I don't need you now, I need you now
-I don't need you now, I don't need you now
-I don't need you now, I don't need you now
-I don't need you now, I don't need you now
-I don't need you now, I don't need you now
-But I don't care, well at least I'm trying not to
Reiterating the attempt not to care and the expectation of finding someone new.
My life will go on and I'll find someone and I don't need you now
