Love And Memories
O.A.R. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lovely, you're always lovely
A vision, you were the one
Now I am stuck inside a memory
You forgot about our destiny
You buried me, didn't you?

Didn't you love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drownin' deep inside your water
Drownin' deep inside your sound

You're always floating
A vapor that I couldn't see
Here I am stuck inside a yesterday
Everything has given way
You fell from me, didn't you?

Didn't you love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drownin' deep inside your water
Drownin' deep inside your sound

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drownin' deep inside your water
Drown in love and memories

Maybe I am a crowded mind
I watch your eyes glaze over
Stare down at the floor
You were amazing to me
I was amazing to you
But here we go again

Didn't you love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drownin' deep inside your water
Drownin' deep inside your sound

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drownin' deep inside your water
Drownin' deep inside your sound

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground




Drownin' deep inside your water
Drown in love and memories

I played this song on repeat summer of 2009 during a devastating breakup. Instantly takes me back. They don't write songs like this anymore.
