You'll Think of Me
Country Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up early this morning around four a.m.
With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake
Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms
I've been tryin' my best to get along
But that's okay
There's nothing left to say, but

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cap and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me

I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been
What we should have been
So

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cap and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

Someday I'm gonna run across your mind
Don't worry, I'll be fine
I'm gonna be alright
While you're sleeping with your pride
Wishin' I could hold you tight
I'll be over you
And on with my life

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
And take your cap and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
Take your space and all your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cap and leave my sweater
'Cause we got nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me, yeah





And you're gonna think of me
Oh someday baby, someday

Overall Meaning

The song “You’ll Think of Me” by Keith Urban is a poignant story about a man trying to move on after a breakup. He’s been trying to get by after his partner left him for someone else, but thoughts of their past relationship keep coming back to him. He has tried to hold on to their memories, but now he’s ready to let it all go. He asks his former partner to take her belongings and leave him in peace, but he knows that she’ll think of him anyway. The song speaks to the universal feeling of trying to move on after a breakup, but being unable to shake the lingering memories of the person you loved.


The song uses powerful imagery to convey the singer’s emotions. When he wakes up at four a.m., the moon is shining bright like headlights on the interstate. This creates a sense of isolation, as if he is the only one awake while the world around him is asleep. He also describes trying to sweep out the ruins of his emotions, which is a powerful metaphor for the pain and baggage he’s carrying from his past relationship. Ultimately, the singer is ready to move on and wishes his former partner well, even though he knows that she’ll always be a part of his life in some way.
