Lyrics
Do you remember how it was?
Reflecting on past experiences and asking if the listener remembers them.
Do you remember who I am?
Questioning if the listener still recognizes the speaker.
Do you take the time to think of what we had?
Asking if the listener contemplates the past relationship.
Have you left it on a shelf
Wondering if the memories are neglected or put aside.
'Cause I'd be lying if I said
Admitting that thoughts of the past relationship still come up.
It don't ever cross my mind
Acknowledging that memories linger in the speaker's mind.
How we loved like no one watched us
Recalling moments of private and carefree love.
And how we laughed until we cried
Remembering laughter shared to the point of tears.
If only it was simple, baby
Expressing a desire for a simpler past.
I would turn back time
Wishing to turn back time but acknowledging its complexity.
But it's complicated, I can't make you mine
Accepting the complexity of the situation, making it impossible to rekindle the relationship.
So, now he takes all your time
Noting the presence of a new person taking the listener's time.
But does he love you like I used to?
Questioning the depth of the new relationship compared to the past.
Does he know the things that I knew?
Asking if the new person understands the listener as the speaker did.
How you loved the rain and Tennessee on ice
Remembering specific shared preferences like enjoying rain and Tennessee.
If I could only change the moment
Expressing a desire to change the past.
Would you let me fix what's broken?
Pleading for a chance to fix what went wrong.
I just hope and pray I'm sometimes on your mind
Hoping to be a lingering thought in the listener's mind.
So am I ever on your mind?
Repeating the question of whether the speaker crosses the listener's mind.
I've been tryna pass the time
Trying to pass the time, possibly struggling with the aftermath of the breakup.
Watch the hands up on the wall
Watching time pass, possibly indicating impatience or longing.
But the pictures down the hallway
Noting pictures in the hallway as a reminder of the past.
Are the anchors holding on and on and on and on
Describing memories as anchors that persist.
Maybe it's stupid, but I just can't hold my tongue
Admitting difficulty in suppressing emotions and thoughts.
My heart's still breaking, why you just move on?
Expressing ongoing emotional pain and questioning the listener's ability to move on.
Does he love you like I used to?

Does he know the things that I knew?
