Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you going?
I didn't mean to blow it
You're upset and I don't know what I said
But I'm sorry
Don't you give about me?
Take off your jacket
Don't walk out that door
You and me
We should be
Making a memory whenever we're together, yeah
Look at me
Can't you see
We were meant to be
Making a memory
Don't pretend you're not smiling again
Let's just leave it
You know I didn't mean it
Don't know why we put up such a fight
Over nothing
When we could still be something
Take off your jacket
Don't walk out that door
There's no need to leave anymore
You and me
We should be
Making a memory whenever we're together, yeah
Look at me
Can't you see
We were meant to be
Making a memory
Can't do this myself
No, I need some help
Wanted some help
Friday night's such a beautiful night
Now you're staying
You and me
We should be
Making a memory whenever we're together, yeah
Look at me
Can't you see
We were meant to be
Making a memory
Friday night's such a beautiful night (making a memory)
Now you're saying
(Making a memory)
Don't know why we put up such a fight (making a memory)
Over nothing
(Making a memory)
The song "Making a Memory" by Plain White T's is a tune about a couple who have gotten into a fight over something insignificant; however, they still want to spend the night together and make a memory. The song starts with the guy telling the girl that it is a beautiful Friday night and asking her where she is going. She gets angry at him and starts to leave, and he doesn't know what he did wrong, but he apologizes, hoping that she won't leave. He tells her to take off her jacket and stay with him, stating that they should be making a memory whenever they are together. He tries to make her understand that they are meant to be together.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that they should be making a memory when they are together, and the guy is trying to make the girl see that they should not fight over nothing. He begs her not to pretend that she is not smiling again and to forget that they were fighting. He needs help to make her feel better, so he asks her to stay with him and make a memory. By the end of the song, the girl is no longer angry and decides to stay with him, and they spend the night together, making a memory.
Overall, the song is about the importance of cherishing every moment we spend with our loved ones and making it a memory so that we can relive those moments even after many years have passed. The song reminds us that we should not fight over silly things but enjoy the time we have with our loved ones.
