In the Forest
Carla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Used to have a lot of time but now i don’t
Used to have a lot of time
Now it’s you who’s on my mind

I wanna know what’s on your mind
“Let’s take a walk give me the keys I’ll drive”

So we walked inside the forest
Then you kissed me in the forest
Then you held me tight through the forest
Then you ran through the forest

And we run, yes we run

And we jump but we never fall




And we jump but we never fall in love
And we jumped but we’ve never felt in love

Overall Meaning

Carla's song "In the Forest" is a bittersweet and introspective track that delves into themes of self-reflection, youthful nostalgia, and unrequited love. The opening lines, "Used to have a lot of time but now I don't / Used to have a lot of time / Now it's you who's on my mind," set the tone for the rest of the song. Here, Carla reflects on how she used to have all the time in the world to spare, but now her thoughts are consumed by someone else. The repetition of the line "used to have a lot of time" emphasizes the sense of loss and regret that Carla feels.


The second verse sees Carla trying to connect with this person she can't stop thinking about. She wants to get to know them better and understand what they're feeling. When they suggest taking a walk, Carla is willing to do whatever it takes to spend time with this person. The line "give me the keys I'll drive" suggests that she's willing to go anywhere with them, as long as she gets to be near them.


The chorus sees Carla and the object of her affections running and jumping through the forest. It's a moment of carefree abandon and youthful joy, but there's also a hint of sadness there too. The repeated line "we jump but we never fall in love" suggests that Carla knows that this person will never feel the same way about her that she does about them. Despite this, she's still willing to hold onto the hope that maybe someday they will.

Used to have a lot of time but now i don’t
Used to have a lot of time
Now it’s you who’s on my mind

I wanna know what’s on your mind
“Let’s take a walk give me the keys I’ll drive”

So we walked inside the forest
Then you kissed me in the forest
Then you held me tight through the forest
Then you ran through the forest, through the forest

We run, yes we run
And we jump but we never fall
And we jump but we never fall in love
And we jumped but we’ve never felt in love
