Isobel
Phoebe Green Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ocean eyes
Slow motion highs
My kitchen floor in the middle of the night
Your little grin when you think of him
That look when you know what I'm thinking

Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me

The smell of the rain
The way you isolate yourself when you feel your Heart about to break
The chances you take
The moments we make
The promises you can never let yourself break

Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me

You're the only one in the world that understands my mind
Lets forget about highschool cliques and get drunk on cheap wine
We're just stupid kids trying to figure ourselves out
But I've got you, and thats all I care about

Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me

You're the girl that all the boys want
You're everything I need and you're all I've got
I'm so glad you're my best friend
I'll be with you until the end
I'll make you laugh when you're pissed at me
We run from the world till we can't breathe

You're the only one in the world that understands my mind
Let's forget about highschool cliques and get drunk on cheap wine
We're just stupid kids trying to figure ourselves out
But I've got you, and that's all I care about

Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me




Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
