Until You Remember
Tedeschi Trucks Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every night I pray
That you'll come back today
And hold me like you used to
Every night I spent
Just waiting on your scent
Needing just a trace of you

Well I know it ain't refined
But I'll hold your place in line
'Til you remember that you're mine

It's not my first mistake
I'm sleeping wide awake
You know I can't think straight about you
And it's nothing that I planned
To let you slip right through my hands
Oh I'm burning with a love that's burned blue

Well I know it ain't refined
But I'll hold your place in line
'Til you remember that you're mine

I know it just ain't right
Holding on to you so tight
'Til you remember that you're mine

Well I know it ain't refined
But I'll hold your place in line
'Til you remember that you're mine

I know it just ain't right
Holding on to you so tight
'Til you remember that you're mine





'Til you remember that you're mine

Never had heard of these guys prior to seeing them live with bb king. This song brought a tear to my eye when i saw and heard it for the first time

@eaglerare22

OMG can this group tingle the spine and knock your socks off your shoe-clad feet? Susan singing sweetly, that organ (Hammond B3?) is a perfect backdrop to the lilting guitar of Derek. Sublime comfort.
