Think About Things
Little Big Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A dynasty, I built your fantasy
Let you reign over me
Like a king in a palace
Obsession, I was your medicine
And you came after me
Like you couldn't live without it

Like faith in the faithful
I was the loyal in your loyalty
I put my cards on your table
And I treated you like royalty

These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
But you're gonna think about them when I'm gone

Savior, I've always saved your deft reputation
Stuck around when you were down
Together, I held you together
I kept you from caving
But now you're crumbling to the ground
I was the arm in your armor
I was the miss in your mistake
And you only make it harder
On yourself when you walk away

These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
But you're gonna think about them when I'm gone, gone, gone, gone

Like faith in the faithful
I was the loyal in your loyalty
I put my cards on your table
And I treated you like royalty

These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
But you're gonna think about them when I'm gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
These are the things that you don't think about
When you think about me
But you're gonna think about them when I'm gone





You're gonna think about 'em
You're gonna think about 'em, think about 'em, when I'm gone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Things You Don't Think About" by Little Big Town express the emotions of someone who has always been loyal and dedicated to a partner, who took advantage of the love and support they received. The song describes the building of a relationship and how the singer was enamored with their partner. They willingly put their trust and love into the relationship, put the partner above themselves, and tried to keep the relationship afloat when the other person was crumbling.


However, it becomes clear that the partner did not have the same loyalty or understanding as they did. The partner only saw what they wanted to see and took the support and love for granted. Leaving the singer behind, they do not seem to realize the things they will lose without the singer's support. The singer reveals that their love and loyalty will not go unnoticed, and the partner will soon realize what they lost once they are gone.


The emotional depth of the lyrics gives the song a sense of urgency and deep attachment, leaving listeners feeling a sense of sadness and heartbreak. The music composition adds to the overall emotions of the song, making it a poignant and deeply moving piece.

Lyrics:
Baby, I can't wait to know
Believe me, I'll always be there, so
Though I know I love you
I find it hard to see how you feel about me
'Cause I don't understand you
Oh, you are yet to learn how to speak
When we first met
I will never forget
'Cause even though I didn't know you yet
We were bound together, then and forever
And I could never let you go
Baby, I can't wait to know
What do you think about things?
Believe me, I will always be there, so
You can tell me anything and I'll listen
When we are together
There isn't anywhere that I would rather be
Three birds of a feather
I just hope you enjoy our company
It's been some time
And though hard to define
As if the stars have started to align
We are bound together, now and forever
And I will never let you go
Baby, I can't wait to know
What do you think about things?
Believe me, I will always be there, so
You can tell me anything and I'll listen
I might even know what to say
But either way, at least I'll be there
Baby, I can't wait to know
What do you think about things?
Believe me, I will always be there, so
You can tell me anything and I'll listen
