Forget Me Not
Love's Beautiful Chaos: Shay Obray's Forget Me Not Tale
Lyrics
Hey you
Greeting or acknowledgment to someone specific
My own personal John Bender
Comparison to the character John Bender from "The Breakfast Club," possibly implying a rebellious or complex nature
We've got a lot to do
Expressing a busy schedule or having many things to accomplish
I've got my days and I wanna
Having limited time and a desire to spend it together
Spend every one of them with you
Wishing to share every day with the addressed person
And I'm no Bonnie to your Clyde
Not being an exact match to a famous pair but experiencing contrasting behaviors or dynamics
But when you're Jekyll I miss Mr. Hyde
Referencing the dual nature of a person, perhaps indicating missing the person during different phases or moods
We're young and our emotions
Recognizing the emotional intensity and impulsiveness associated with youth
Tend to get the best of us sometimes
Admitting that emotions sometimes overpower rationality
And Love is such a beautiful mess
Describing love as chaotic yet beautiful
I suspect, we're only human
Acknowledging human fallibility in relationships
Every night you stayed up late
Highlighting late-night conversations and care for the safety of the addressed person
You called just to make sure I got home safe
Showing concern and thoughtfulness
No one can say
Rejecting the notion that their relationship is just a passing phase
We're just a phase
Asserting the seriousness and depth of their connection
You say
Quoting a statement expressing a shared aspiration or dream
"Lets get a van and move to LA in the fall"
Discussing a potential plan to relocate together
Change of plans
Considering a change of plans due to parental disapproval
My parents might be mad
Recognizing familial concerns but willing to prioritize the relationship
But for you babe I'd drop it all
Acknowledging the challenges in love and commitment
Nobody ever said it was easy
Reflecting on the difficulty of love
Love is such a beautiful mess
Reiterating the chaotic yet beautiful nature of love
I forget we're only seventeen
Forgetting their youth due to the intensity of feelings
And you know what I mean
Assuming mutual understanding or shared experiences despite being young
We were doomed from the start
Recognizing the doomed nature of their relationship from the beginning
But I already gave you my heart
Having already given complete devotion to the addressed person
Love is such a beautiful mess
Reiterating the chaotic yet beautiful nature of love
I'll regret every text that I send
Anticipating regret for messages sent in the relationship
And every night you'll stay up late
Expecting late-night contemplation and self-doubt in the addressed person
Reading them thinking you made a mistake
Believing the addressed person might question their decisions
Maybe you did
Contemplating the possibility of mistakes in the relationship
And what is it to ya
Challenging the importance or impact of any potential mistakes
So what if you did
Dismissive attitude toward the significance of errors
I'll pay you back all the time that you lost
Offering to compensate for any time lost or wasted
In Forget Me Not's
Referencing the symbolic flowers "Forget Me Nots" as a reminder
And what is it to ya
Disregarding the addressed person's concern about lingering feelings
If I'm still hung up on you now
Acknowledging persistent feelings for the addressed person
