Still In My Brain
Justin Timberlake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The beautiful days are long gone
And I can't seem to breathe
Feels like it hasn't been that long
Since you walked away from me

Now I can try to act real strong
But you and I both know
I still think of you that way
You should know that

The beautiful lights, the star-filled nights
They don't mean a thing
'Cause you are my star, so it don't seem right
Without you here with me

Now I can try to act real strong
But you and I both know
It's hard for me to say
You were my soul

Now I could say that I don't love you no more
And I could say that I've closed the door for our love
And I could tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways
But, baby, I just wouldn't be the same

'Cause, girl, your love is still on my brain
Now when you're in love it takes time to heal
When someone's broken your heart, it changes how you feel
I thought that you would never do me that way

But even after all I still think of you that way
Now I could say that I don't love you no more
And I could say that I've closed the door for our love
And I could tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways

But, baby, I just wouldn't be the same
'Cause, girl, your love is still on my brain
Now love is a game that we both like to play
When I win or lose, if I go or if I stay

Even though I try to hide my broken heart inside
Girl, you know me inside out
And I can't get you off of my mind
And I could say that I don't love you no more

And I could say that I've closed the door for our love
And I could tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways
But, baby, I just wouldn't be the same




'Cause, girl, your love is still on my brain
La, la, la, la

Line by Line Meaning

The beautiful days are long gone
The good times have passed and are not present anymore


And I can't seem to breathe
I feel like I am suffocating


Feels like it hasn't been that long
Although time has passed, it doesn't feel like it has been long


Since you walked away from me
Since the time you left me and walked out of my life


Now I can try to act real strong
I can attempt to appear tough and unaffected


But you and I both know
However, we both understand that it's not true


I still think of you that way
I still recollect you in the same way I used to before


You should know that
It's important for you to understand that


The beautiful lights, the star-filled nights
The stunning luminosity and glittering nights


They don't mean a thing
They hold no significance


'Cause you are my star, so it don't seem right
Because you were my everything, nothing feels right without you


Without you here with me
In your absence, by my side


You were my soul
You were the vital part of my heart and soul


Now I could say that I don't love you no more
I could lie and claim that my love for you has faded


And I could say that I've closed the door for our love
I could tell you that I have moved on from our love


And I could tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways
I could suggest that it's time for us to part our ways


But, baby, I just wouldn't be the same
However, I know I can never be the same without you


'Cause, girl, your love is still on my brain
Your love still occupies my thoughts


Now when you're in love it takes time to heal
When in love, it takes time to recover from the pain of a broken heart


When someone's broken your heart, it changes how you feel
The experience of a heartbreak transforms the emotions one experiences


I thought that you would never do me that way
I assumed you'd never hurt me in such a manner


But even after all I still think of you that way
Despite everything, I still recall you the same way I used to before


Now love is a game that we both like to play
For us, love is like a game that we both like to indulge in


When I win or lose, if I go or if I stay
Regardless of winning or losing, whether I leave or stay


Even though I try to hide my broken heart inside
Even though I try to conceal my shattered heart within


Girl, you know me inside out
My dear, you know me thoroughly both externally and internally


And I can't get you off of my mind
I can't stop thinking about you


La, la, la, la

on Want You To Know

Sound's a calm, when we become the animals that we're made in the jungle

Why you staying so far away?

Running men is looking on, why
Why don't you come out to play
And get closer to your animal, inside
Baby I act like the gentleman that your mother would love, ooh get to me
Baby you act like a lady, don't have to cover it up, things you wanna show me
Make me remember the reason why I wanted to love, please be slowly
I think you're ready to try, walk a little closer and

Now take me to your jungle, I'm not afraid
And if you're looking for your animal, hop in my cage
Fall in a terror of height, don't talk
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want

Show me your t-shirt, and sweat your sling
Down and dirty, you're loving me so loud
Play it breeze, but you wild as a strain
Side show in front of the whole crowd

Baby I act like the gentleman that your mother would love, ooh get to me
Baby you act like a lady, don't have to cover it up, things you wanna show me
Make me remember the reason why I wanted to love, please be slowly
I think you're ready to try, walk a little closer and

Now take me to your jungle, I'm not afraid
And if you're looking for your animal, hop in my cage
Fall in a terror of height, don't talk
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want

Sound's a calm, when we become the animals that we're made in the jungle

Now take me to your jungle, I'm not afraid
And if you're looking for your animal, hop in my cage
Fall in a terror of height, don't talk
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want

Sound's a calm, when we become the animals that we're made in the jungle

Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, don't know, I want
Come in, come in, baby what I don't know, I want
