Think About Me
Greg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gonna turn off the radio, control nothing remotely
Ain't gonna rent me no video, disconnect the telephone
I gotta be all alone, and just think about you

I can smell your warm neck, I can hear your low laugh
I see the way you come to me, feel the muscle in your strong back
I get the good blues when I think about you
I'm a-working on a' up-link, I'm sending out a signal
Hope you can pick it up on your sweet receiver
Hope you can feel me too when I think about you

and I'm gonna think a long time
gonna think a long time
and I'm gonna think a long time
think a long time

When I build my little cabin with a sky window above the bed
So I can sleep with Orion in the middle of the winter
Maybe you will visit me, we can cook a slow soup

Gonna ease down easy deeper in the dream I'm dreamin'
It's like your arms are around me, like sinking in a hot bath
even when I'm sleeping, I'm gonna think about you

Gonna turn off the radio, control nothing remotely




Ain't gonna rent me no video, disconnect the telephone
I gotta be all alone, and just think about you

The last verse envisions a future where the two lovers could be together in a little cabin, gazing up at the stars, and simply enjoying each other's company.
