Always Remember Us This Way
Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That Arizona sky burnin' in your eyes
You look at me and, babe, I wanna catch on fire
It's buried in my soul like California gold
You found the light in me that I couldn't find

So when I'm all choked up
But I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way

Lovers in the night
Poets tryin' to write
We don't know how to rhyme
But, damn, we try
But all I really know
You're where I wanna go
The part of me that's you will never die

So when I'm all choked up
And I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way

Oh, yeah
I don't wanna be just a memory, baby, yeah
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

So when I'm all choked up
And I can't find the words
Every time we say goodbye
Baby, it hurts
When the sun goes down
And the band won't play
I'll always remember us this way, way, yeah
When you look at me




And the whole world fades
I'll always remember us this way

Overall Meaning

The song "Always Remember Us This Way" is a beautiful ballad about the intense love shared between two people. The opening verse describes the way that the Arizona sky appears to be burning in the eyes of the person the singer is addressing. They have a powerful attraction to each other and she feels like she could catch on fire just by looking at him. The line "It's buried in my soul like California gold" emphasizes the depth of the feelings that have grown between them. She may have been searching for something valuable like gold, but he was the one who brought light to her life, showing her things she didn't know were inside of her.


The chorus talks about how intense the memories will be for her, knowing that every time they must part, it will cause her pain. Even if it's just for a moment; "every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts." The line "When the sun goes down and the band won't play" seems to mean that the moment when the music stops, and the night is over, she will still always remember him in a way that no one else can understand. They may feel like they are alone in their love, unscripted, and unrhymed like "Lovers in the night, poets trying to write. We don't know how to rhyme, but damn, we try."


Overall, "Always Remember Us This Way" is a song about the eternal memories that come with a powerful love. Someone who knew you better than anyone else and brought light to your life, even in the darkest moments. The intensity of their time together, and of their love, is always there, every time you remember them.
