Remember Me
Carla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wish I could remember things
Just the way I want to
The way I need to

Cos some memories are broken
Cos are some memories are chosen
In and out of my head
In and out of my bed

Now you don't
Remember me
Remember me
I'll remember you





Oh I wanted to go back so bad, so bad
