About You
Scott A.F. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Hang out with all of our friends
On the hood of our cars
In a Walmart parking lot
Everybody in that town knew
That was our spot
But what they didn't know
And kill the headlights
On a back road
And turn the radio to something real slow
I still think about you
Do you think about me?
Strawberry Wine, we were seventeen
And that was our song all summer long
And to this day, every time it comes on
I think about you
Do you think about me?
I still go back in my mind sometimes
It puts me back under that July sky
Riding around with you, girl, my, my, my
I wonder why, why, why
We said goodbye
Some things are meant to go together
That's me and you
But some things aren't meant to last forever
That's me and you too
I still think about you
Do you think about me?
Strawberry Wine, we were seventeen
And that was our song all summer long
And to this day, every time it comes on
I think about you
Do you think about me?
I still think about you
Do you think about me
Picking you up (picking me up)
Takin' you out (takin' me out)
Holdin' your hand (holdin' my hand)
And drivin' around (drivin' around)
We'd park that truck (park that truck)
I'd taste those lips (taste my lips)
Get caught up (get caught up)
In that midnight bliss
I think about you and the way you'd look
And the way you'd laugh
And the way you'd sit there in my lap
We'd talk about forever at seventeen
People change, leave their town
Life goes on, the world goes 'round
But I still think it's meant to be
I still think about you
Do you think about me?
Strawberry Wine, we were seventeen
And that was our song all summer long
And to this day, every time it comes on
I think about you
Do you think about me?
'Cause I still think about you
Do you think about me?
The lyrics of Scott A.F.'s song "About You" capture the nostalgia and longing for a past relationship that holds a significant place in the singer's heart. The song begins by setting the scene of a familiar hangout spot in a small town, a Walmart parking lot where friends gather on the hoods of their cars. The sense of community and familiarity in this setting is palpable, and it becomes a symbol of simpler times and shared memories that are cherished by the singer.
As the lyrics progress, the focus shifts to a more intimate moment between the singer and their past love interest. They describe sneaking away on a back road, turning off the headlights, and listening to slow music on the radio. This secret rendezvous highlights the intimacy and connection shared between the two individuals, away from prying eyes and the constraints of their everyday lives.
The recurring motif of "Strawberry Wine" symbolizes the innocence and intensity of young love, particularly during the formative years of seventeen. The song served as a soundtrack to their summer romance, and it continues to evoke memories and feelings whenever it is heard. The singer wonders if their former love interest also reminisces about those moments and if their memories are as vivid and bittersweet as their own.
The lyrics reflect on the inevitability of change and the fleeting nature of relationships, acknowledging that while some things are meant to come together, others are not destined to last forever. Despite the passage of time and the distance between them, the singer still holds onto the belief that their connection was special and worth remembering. The song serves as a poignant reminder of a past love that has left a lasting impact on the singer's heart, prompting introspection and a wistful longing for what once was.
