Remember You
dave t Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we were small
Do you remember
When we believed
There was gold in the river
And ghosts in the attic
Don't go up there alone
We will take cover
The odds are against us
Do you remember
When we were young
Do you remember
When we made believe
We were sinking in quicksand
There's no rope to save you
Yeah we're on your own
Searching for treasure
Kissing girls in the backseat
We're all on our own
The enemy's coming
We should take cover
The odds are against us
Do you remember
When we could see
The color of sunshine
The color of laughter
The color of love
The color of water
In the summer so plenty
Is pouring all over us
The color of sunlight
Rising up like emotion
And pouring all over us
Is pouring all over us
Do you remember
When we would scream out loud
Come out and get me
There's a river to drown in
Come out and play
The color of water
Rising up like emotion
Pouring all over us
We could be heroes
Making love in the backseat
It's the summer of love
The color of water
The color of sunlight
Is pouring all over us
The summer of love
Pouring all over us
Dave T's song "Remember You" is a nostalgic reflection on childhood, growing up, and the undying spirit of adventure. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song as David sings, "Do you remember when we were small? Do you remember when we believed?". He then proceeds to reminisce about adventurous playtimes of childhood with lines like "There was gold in the river, and ghosts in the attic" and "We were sinking in quicksand, there's no rope to save you, yeah we're on your own". The lyrics paint an image of kids daring to dream big and set out on quests for treasure, even if the odds were against them.
The chorus of the song is the most emotional part, as David asks if the listener remembers the beauty that surrounded them during those childhood years. "The color of sunshine, the color of laughter, the color of love, the color of water in the summer so plenty" - David sings about the simple joys and pleasures of life that we forget as we grow older. The song ends on a triumphant note, as David implores his listeners to "come out and play" and enjoy life - just like they did in the summer of love. Overall, "Remember You" is a poignant reminder of how important it is to retain a sense of wonder and curiosity throughout one's life.
