Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember lying awake at night and thinking just of you
But things don't last forever and somehow baby
They never really do They never really do
I remember you I remember You I remember you
But things don't last forever and somehow baby
They never really do They never really do
I remember you I remember You I remember you
I remember you I remember You I remember you
I remember you, you I remember you I remember you
I remember lying awake at night and thinking just of you
But things don't last forever and somehow baby
They never really do They never really do
I remember you I remember You I remember you
I remember you I remember You I remember you
I remember you
