Sweet Memories
Jade Anderson Lyrics

Morning,
The day starts but I haven't slept yet, implying that I had a great night with friends.

and im still awake,
Further emphasizing the idea that I had too much fun last night to sleep yet, and that the night is still ongoing in my head.

I've laughed so hard that my head starts to ache,
Having lots of fun with friends, possibly intoxicated, and laughing so much that it physically hurts.

Friends drink, pass out on the ground,
A description of a typical night with these friends, including heavy drinking and possibly ending up on the ground together in a silly fashion.

as the record skips goin round and round.
There's a sense of repetition in their nights, possibly due to being in the same location and doing similar things, but still enjoying themselves regardless.

My dancing shoes are well abused,
The singer has been really getting into the music and dancing a lot all night.

My hair is just doin its own thing,
The singer is letting loose and having so much fun that she doesn't care about her appearance anymore.

But I feel alright, I had fun last night,
Despite the physical exhaustion, she feels content about the events of the night before.

I smile to myself as I sing,
She's reminiscing about memories from the night before and feeling happy about them.

will be memories, specially made for me,
A recognition that these experiences and memories are unique to her and will always hold a special place in her heart.

i know (i know)
Reiterating the confidence in the importance of these memories.

i'll look back, (i'll look back)
Anticipating a future in which she'll reflect on these memories fondly.

Sun wakes, upon sleepy eyes,
Describing the new day after the night of memories, and how the sun is shining upon the singer's groggy eyes.

hangover complaints come as no surprise,
Acknowledging the physical toll that the night took on everyone involved, with expected hangovers and complaints from the group.

we all stroll down, to the cheap cafe, in a world of our own,
The singer and her friends are still in something of a dream world, existing in their own little group and heading to a casual cafe together.

with cars so far away
They're in a distant location, possibly due to not wanting to wake others when they left the original location.

long as life dont fade too soon,

while dancing with guys to the latest june,
Another reference to the joy of dancing, and the specific month of June being used to indicate that time is still moving forward even as the singer is enjoying herself.

we'll all wake up in the afternoon, cause you know its alright,
Their fun was worth the tiredness and grogginess they'll feel in the morning. They're living in the moment and enjoying themselves rather than worrying about the potential consequences.

(spoken)
Spoken word interlude that breaks from the musical verse structure, providing direct commentary on the singer's emotions and experiences.

some days I feel so complicated,
Admitting that not every moment is as joyful and carefree as those spent with friends creating sweet memories.

a moody thought i've always hated,
Feeling that negativity is a burden that doesn't belong in the sweet memories that she's created with her loved ones.

thank the lord im not jaded,
