Do You Remember
Aaron Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooooh
Oohohh
Remember we'd be up all night
Talking 'til the morning light, yeah
Like the way it used to be
Those simple days
I think baby I know
What's on your mind
'Cause you look like you've
Got something to say
I may not say those words anymore
But maybe it just ain't my way
You ask me do I love you but
Do you remember
Why I walked on water for you
Do you remember
My first steps on the moon
Have you ever wondered why
I gave three wishes to you
You asked the question
But the answer lies
In you, in you
The answer lies in you
Remember we used to laugh and say
No one else could get in our way
And there were times
When you would cry
And came knocking
On my door
And I was there
To shelter your pain
I think baby you should
Get that off your mind
Make it seem like
A brighter day
I may not say those words anymore
But maybe I can make it my way
You ask me do I love you but
Do you remember
Why I walked on water for you
Do you remember
My first steps on the moon
Have you ever wondered why
I gave three wishes to you
You asked the question
But the answer lies
In you, in you
The answer lies in you
The answer girl
Lies within your heart
Take a look inside
You ask me do I love you but
Do you remember
Why I walked on water for you
Do you remember
My first steps on the moon
Have you ever wondered why
I gave three wishes to you
You asked the question
But the answer lies
In you, in you
The answer lies in you
In you, in you
The answer lies in you
In you, in you
The answer lies in you
In you, in you
The answer lies in you, yeah
Aaron Carter's song "Do You Remember" is a nostalgic reflection on a relationship that has lost some of its spark over time. The opening lines recall the simplicity of the early days of the relationship, when the two would stay up all night talking until morning light. Carter then acknowledges that while he may not express his feelings as openly as he used to, he still cares deeply for his partner, and he hints at a desire to find a new way to show his love. The chorus asks his partner if they recall the lengths he went to for them in the past, from walking on water to granting them three wishes. Carter suggests that the answer to the question "Do you remember?" is, in fact, within his partner themselves. Likewise, the final lines speak to the importance of introspection and self-discovery in answering this question.
The song's emotional resonance comes in part from its universal themes of nostalgia and relationship struggles. However, it also speaks to Carter's own experiences. At the time of the song's release in 2005, Carter was going through a period of personal and professional upheaval: his album sales had declined, he had left his longtime record label, and he was in the midst of a well-publicized feud with his brother Nick. Against this backdrop, "Do You Remember" can be read as an attempt to reconnect with his fans and explore his own emotional landscape.
