Red Dress
Lucy Hale & Joe Nichols Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It'll last for awhile before you disappear
So I close my eyes, cause the only thing I fear
Is waking up one day, forgetting you were ever here
Darling, it's you I remember with your red dress on
Dancing in the moonlight till the break of dawn
It's you I remember dancing with your red dress on
And baby it's you I remember when I hear that song
Singing out the chorus till your voice was gone
It's you I remember every time I hear that song
Not a day goes by, without thinking that I see
Your face in the crowd, turning away from me
So the days go by, like a recurring dream
Where every night ends with the same old memory
And baby it's you I remember when I hear that song
Singing out the chorus till your voice was gone
It's you I remember every time I hear that song
Darling, it's you I remember with your red dress on
Dancing in the moonlight till the break of dawn
It's you I remember dancing with your red dress on
Dancing with your red dress on
I don't know the game we're playing
You and I were on to something
How do we fall apart, without asking ourselves why?
Looking back I can't help thinking
That somewhere I had just stopped running
I would have held you close, and never said goodbye
Darling, it's you I remember with your red dress on
Dancing in the moonlight till the break of dawn
It's you I remember dancing with your red dress on
And baby it's you I remember when I hear that song
Singing out the chorus till your voice was gone
It's you I remember every time I hear that song
Darling, it's you I remember with your red dress on
Dancing in the moonlight till the break of dawn
It's you I remember dancing with your red dress on
And baby it's you I remember when I hear that song
Singing out the chorus till your voice was gone
It's you I remember every time I hear that song
Dancing with your red dress on
Woah
Dancing with your red dress on
The song "Red Dress" by Lucy Hale and Joe Nichols tells the story of a person who is struggling to move on from a past love. The singer is haunted by memories of their former partner, and cannot seem to forget the moments they spent together. They close their eyes and try to conjure the image of their loved one, but even that is fleeting. The only thing they fear is forgetting their ex entirely.
The memory that stands out most vividly in their mind is of their ex dancing in a red dress, under the moonlight, until the break of dawn. This image is so ingrained in their memory that every time they hear a familiar song, they are brought back to that moment. They regret not fighting harder to keep the relationship alive, and long for a chance to hold their ex close once more.
The lyrics to "Red Dress" are deeply emotional, and paint a picture of the pain and longing that can linger after a breakup. They show that even after a relationship ends, memories and emotions can still hold a firm grip on our hearts.
Line by Line Meaning
If I close my eyes and imagine you are here
I can still bring your memory to life by imagining you next to me.
It'll last for awhile before you disappear
But the memory will fade after a while and you will be gone again.
So I close my eyes, cause the only thing I fear
That's why I close my eyes when I think of you, because I'm afraid of forgetting you altogether.
Is waking up one day, forgetting you were ever here
And the thought of waking up one day with no memory of you at all is too much to bear.
Darling, it's you I remember with your red dress on
Out of all my memories of you, the one that stands out the most is of you in your red dress.
Dancing in the moonlight till the break of dawn
We danced all night to the beautiful sound of the moon.
It's you I remember dancing with your red dress on
And every time I think of that night, I remember you in that stunning red dress.
And baby it's you I remember when I hear that song
When that song comes on the radio, it's you I think of first and foremost.
Singing out the chorus till your voice was gone
We sang along until we were both hoarse, just enjoying each other's company.
Not a day goes by, without thinking that I see
Every single day, I see your face in the crowd and I can't help but remember our time together.
Your face in the crowd, turning away from me
But then I remember that you are no longer here, and it feels like you turned your back on me.
So the days go by, like a recurring dream
And so the days just keep passing, everything feeling like a never ending dream.
Where every night ends with the same old memory
Every night ends with me remembering you, and how much I miss you.
I don't know the game we're playing
I don't understand why we are apart, or what went wrong between us.
You and I were on to something
I do believe that we had something special together, once upon a time.
How do we fall apart, without asking ourselves why?
But somehow, we fell apart without even realizing what was causing it to happen.
Looking back I can't help thinking
Now, looking back on our relationship, I can't help but wonder if things could have been different.
That somewhere I had just stopped running
Maybe if I had just kept trying, things would have worked out differently.
I would have held you close, and never said goodbye
And maybe then, I wouldn't be left with this constant feeling of regret and sadness.
Dancing with your red dress on
Overall, our best memories were of dancing together, with you in that stunning red dress.
