Every Time I Hear That Song
Blake Shelton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How fast it all flies away
I don't know what it is about a goodbye kiss
That makes you wanna stay
We were crazy then we were over
We were breaking up, making love, a runaway roller coaster
Every time I hear that song
On your front lawn and oh-oh-oh
I still think about you oh-oh-oh
Every time I hear that song
It's like the first time it came on and oh-oh-oh
I still think about you oh-oh-oh
I still think about you
There's something in the bittersweet
The feeling of a memory
Right there in the moment
All I ever wanted was you and me
We were crying, we were wasted
We were dying when they played it
Every time I hear that song
I'm standing in the pouring rain
On your front lawn and oh-oh-oh
I still think about you oh-oh-oh
Every time I hear that song
It's like the first time it came on and oh-oh-oh
I still think about you oh-oh-oh
I still think about you
Oh, I still think about you
There's a soundtrack in my mind
That takes me back in time
When I hear that melody
I think about you and me
Every time I hear that song
I'm standing in the pouring rain
On your front lawn and oh-oh-oh
I still think about you oh-oh-oh
Every time I hear that song
It's like the first time it came on and oh-oh-oh
I still think about you oh-oh-oh
I still think about you
Oh, I still think about you
I still think about you
Yeah, I still think about you
There's a soundtrack in my mind
That takes me back in time
When I hear that melody

I worked for Blake a few times, He is one of the nices person you can ask for. He wanted my brother to be his body guard, until he was told he had cancer. The last concert my brother went to was Blakes just two weeks before he died.... Thanks Blake for being a friend to him Toby ( JOKER ) Sears...
