Remind Me
Unveiling Love's Tapestry: Sam Robbins' 'Remind Me' Revelations
Lyrics
I told myself not to fall in love and I haven’t yet
I made a conscious decision not to fall in love, and so far, I have stuck to that choice.
I’m still so young there are so many people that I haven’t met
Despite being young, there are still many people I haven't encountered or connected with.
So when I saw you and you saw through to the heart of me
When we met, you saw through to the core of who I am.
I turned around, walked downtown, tried to see you with objectivity
Feeling vulnerable, I tried to maintain objectivity by distancing myself and observing from a downtown perspective.
I didn’t want to look too hard
I avoided scrutinizing too deeply.
I didn’t want to see too far
I refrained from looking too far into the future.
I didn’t want to know who you are
I didn't want to discover too much about your true self.
I didn’t want to like it
Resisting the pull, I didn't want to admit liking you.
I didn’t want to say your name
Reluctant to get attached, I avoided saying your name.
Standing on your fire escape
Visualizing being close to you but at a distance.
Watching all the good stars fade
Observing the fading of positive aspects in life, similar to stars losing their brightness.
Like the ghosts behind me
The past, like ghosts, remains behind me.
I told myself shes nothing new, just a pretty girl
Downplaying your significance, I convinced myself you're just a beautiful girl.
A radiant light who always finds time to watch life unfurl
You radiate positivity and always find time to appreciate life unfolding.
So when you kissed me and I had to leave I wasn’t lying
Despite the kiss, I convinced myself it was nothing extraordinary, perhaps due to fear of commitment.
I’ve been thinking maybe I’m just good at searching and not finding
Considering the possibility that I excel at searching for meaning but struggle to find it.
I didn’t want to look too hard
Avoiding deep emotional exploration.
I didn’t want to see too far
Keeping a distance from understanding too much.
I didn’t want to know who you are
Resisting the urge to fully know your identity.
I didn’t want to like it
Suppressing the liking or attraction.
I didn’t want to say your name
Avoiding the acknowledgment of feelings by not saying your name.
Standing on your fire escape
Revisiting the image of standing on your fire escape.
Watching all the good stars fade
Observing the fading of positive elements, reminiscent of stars losing their brightness.
Like the ghosts behind me
The past, like ghosts, continues to linger behind me.
You don’t remind of back home
You don't evoke memories of my home.
You don’t remind me of my old needs
You don't remind me of my past needs or desires.
You don’t remind me of what I know of love
You don't align with my previous understanding of love.
You remind me about what it means
You remind me of the true meaning of love.
You don’t remind me of my mother
You don't resemble characteristics of my mother.
You don’t remind me of my last girl
You're different from my previous romantic experiences.
You just remind me that it’s a big wide open world
You simply remind me that the world is vast and open.
I didn’t want to say your name standing on your fire escape
Repeating the reluctance to say your name while standing on the fire escape.
Watching all the good stars fade like the ghosts behind me
Observing the fading of positive elements, similar to ghosts lingering behind me.
You Don’t Remind Me
You don't bring back memories in the way that others do.
