Lyrics
Would you take good care of everything
Expressing concern about the listener's responsibility for everything after the speaker is gone.
Will you keep wearing your wedding ring when I'm gone
Questioning if the listener will continue wearing their wedding ring after the speaker's departure.
And when I'm gone, will you take down all the photographs
Asking if the listener will remove all photographs from the shared past when the speaker is no longer present.
Where we spent our warm and tender laughs
Referencing moments of joy and intimacy shared between the speaker and the listener.
When I'm gone
Reiterating the idea of the speaker being absent and questioning the listener's actions during that time.
Will you miss me
Posing questions about whether the listener will miss the speaker during the night.
In the night
Asking if the listener will hold onto the memories and feelings associated with the speaker in various aspects of life.
Will your arms reach out to hold me tight
-Will your keep me in your dreams?
-In your heart?
-In your life?
-Sometimes I want to run to you
Expressing a desire to be close to the listener and recreate the feeling of holding them, even if only momentarily.
Like lovers do
-When love is new
-Just for a moment be close to you
-Pretending I'm still holding you.
-And even when I'm far away
Expressing optimism that love will reunite the speaker and the listener despite physical distance and pursuing individual dreams.
In dreams we'll stay
-And someday
-After we've all chased our fantasies
-Love will bring you back to me
-When I'm gone
Reiterating thoughts about the listener being constantly in the speaker's memory and the impact of their presence even when physically apart.
I'll be thinking 'bout you constantly
-'cause you're locked inside my memory
-From now on
-And I know
Reflecting on the challenges of taking time apart but expressing confidence in the enduring strength of love.
That we said we needed time apart
-Would your love keep pulling at my heart
-But it's strong
-Will you miss me

-In your life?
-Sometimes I want to run to you
