Do You Remember?
Radiator Hospital Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back in your father's arms when he said to you that you could do anything you want to, when he looked into your eyes he knew you believed it.
Do you remember what you wanted to be then?
Well I want to be the one that makes you feel like you could be that thing again.
Hair in a sloppy knot, ratty t-shirt on, your singing all the words to your favorite songs.
When you looked into my eyes I knew you believed it.
Do you remember what I said to you then?
When you feel sad I want to be the one that sings the song stuck in your head.
Yeah I want to sing the song that makes you forget everything that made you sad.
