Out of Our Minds
Bobby Bare feat. Skeeter Davis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We said our goodbyes long ago never thinking we'd miss each other so
All the memories we can't leave behind oh we must have been out of our minds
[ Skeeter ]
I've thought I loved another not you
[ Bobby ]
Oh how foolish I've thought the same too
[ Both ]
[ piano ]
[ Bobby ]
Let's forgive and forget the past we've known
[ Skeeter ]
We'll reap together all the wild seeds we've sowed
[ Both ]
Surely they can forgive us and find that we must have been out of our minds
[ Skeeter ]
Yes I've thought I loved another...
Yes we must have been out of our minds
The song "We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds" by Bobby Bare and Skeeter Davis is a poignant tale of two former lovers who have come to the realization that they were foolish to have let go of their love for each other. The lyrics suggest that the two had separated long ago and had moved on with their lives, only to come to the realization that they were meant to be together. As they reminisce about the past and the memories they can't leave behind, they acknowledge that they must have been out of their minds to have let go of each other in the first place.
The first verse of the song sets the tone, as the two singers express their surprise at how much they miss each other after all these years. The chorus is heartfelt and filled with emotion, as they both regret their past mistakes and acknowledge that they must have been foolish to have thought they loved someone else. The second verse is a plea for forgiveness and a desire to start anew, as they confess to their mistakes and hope that they can rekindle their love.
