Remember You
G-Eazy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She got her
Own crib with a
Twin bed and was
Hollywood, she
Uptown and she
Danced to her
Favorite song and
I will remember you
I will remember you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Back when the first time we met I was thinkin' 'bout sex
but you told me not yet
I meant no disrespect I was just being honest, my only regret was
Never letting you know how I felt or what was up
That was too much Maker's in my cup
I was faded, too fucked up
And you probably think I'm an asshole
Read your facial expression
But it's not everyday someone comes and leaves an impression
Typin' shit to say to you then deletin' it
On my phone when I'm textin'
'Cause I still be thinkin' about you like every day, no question but
I ain't really tryin' to fly out
And I'm no good at phones
And my life is on the road, I'm with the crew of Rolling Stones
But don't trip
'Cause I still remember you
She got her
Own crib with a
Twin bed and was
Hollywood, she
Uptown and she
Danced to her
Favorite song and
Sing along when no one's around
I will remember you
I will never forget you
See I know I've got this tendency
To fall in love real quickly
But it's usually a phase I fall into in every city
That passes away instantly
When I leave it's over
I come to my senses when I'm sober, yeah
But I thought about you, no lie
When I left, you stayed on my brain
Then we finally got to fuckin',
That shit was all the way insane
Now I know that you're havin' a thought
Picture us having a spot
But look at this baggage I got
My life is crazy, I travel a lot, but
When I dip out in the morning you could trust
I'll be thinkin' about you looking out the window of my bus yeah, yea
'Cause I still remember you
She got her
Own crib with a
Twin bed and was
Hollywood, she
Uptown and she
Danced to her
Favorite song and
Sing along when no one's around
I will remember you
I will never forget you
I will remember you
I will remember you
The lyrics of "Remember You" by G-Eazy and Blackbear paint a nostalgic picture of a past love that has left a lasting impact on their minds. The song speaks about reminiscing about a girl who had her own crib, a twin bed, lived in Hollywood, and loved to dance and sing to her favorite song when nobody was around. The lyrics highlight the deep connection the artists had with this girl and how she has stayed on their minds ever since they parted ways. The verses further reveal the emotions and thoughts G-Eazy goes through after the breakup. He talks about his regret of never letting her know how he felt, the tendency he has to fall in love quickly but to have those feelings fade away over time, and his apprehension to commit to a relationship due to his crazy life on the road.
The chorus repeats the words "I will remember you" several times to emphasize the point that the memory of this love will never fade away entirely. The song ends with a final declaration of the importance of this memory and how it will continue to resonate with them always.
Overall, "Remember You" is an introspective and nostalgic song that portrays the lasting impact of past loves on our memories and how they shape who we are today.
