EXES Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you here
I'm right on your couch
A late night beer
And maybe we can talk it out
Baby, can we talk it out?

I want you here
The whispers in bed
And all I hear
Are all the words I never said
I remember you instead

I will never forget
It was cold the night we met
And my favorite dress
Has a scent of cigarettes
I will try to forget
I will never forget
I will never forget





I will never forget
I will never forget

Overall Meaning

The song Index by EXES is a beautifully poetic expression of longing for someone who is no longer present in the singer's life. The lyrics begin with the singer expressing a desire for the person to return, asking them to come over and have a late-night beer, hoping that they can talk through whatever issues led to their separation. The repetition of "I want you here" underscores the depth of the singer's desire to have this person back in their life, and the inclusion of the word "baby" adds a note of tenderness to the plea.


The second verse brings a deeper sense of melancholy to the song, as the singer remembers moments spent with the absent person. The reference to whispers in bed and words left unsaid suggests an intimacy that was never fully explored or realized, adding a sense of regret to the singer's longing. The repeated refrain of "I will never forget" underscores the depth of the singer's memories and emotions, and the final repetition of the line gives the song a sense of closure, as if the singer is resigned to their loss but still holding onto the love and memories they shared.
