Do You Remember
Ra Ra Riot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would be a fool
If I let it die
Could I
Get you alone
Tonight
Oh
Do you remember what you said to me then?
Under the oak trees and the leaves withering
Do you remember what you said to me then?
Under the oak trees and the leaves withering
Don't let me be afraid of our little life apart
Darling say something
Oh, I never could
Can I
Get you alone
Tonight?
Oh tonight
Do you remember what you said to me then?
Under the oak trees and the leaves withering
Do you remember what you said to me then?
Under the oak trees and the leaves withering
On my heels
Oh I don't mind
On my heels
Oh I don't mind
When I come over to you
It's such a lonely call
She said "hey come on now"
No, we both got a little time
Tonight
Tonight
Oh tonight, oh tonight
Do you remember what you said to me then?
Under the oak trees and the leaves withering
Do you remember what you said to me then?
Under the oak trees and the leaves withering
On my heels, oh I don't mind
On my heels, oh I don't mind
On my heels, oh I don't mind
On my heels, oh I don't mind

The singer is afraid of being apart from their partner and wishes for them to say something, but acknowledges that they never could.
