In this poignant track, Old Dominion captures the bittersweet sentiment of letting go while holding onto memories. The lyrics convey a deep sense of attachment and lingering love from the narrator, who encourages their departing lover to carry their memory wherever life leads. This plea is encapsulated in the metaphor of keeping a picture in one's pocket, symbolizing the enduring emotional connection despite physical separation. The song reflects on themes of freedom, change, and remembrance, suggesting that even as we pursue new horizons, our past relationships continue to shape us. "Don't Forget Me" strikes a balance between accepting the need for personal growth and the desire to remain significant in someone else's story.
Don't Forget Me
Lyrics
If you're chasing down a feeling
In a blue sky full of freedom
If a spirit's running through ya
Looking for your hallelujah
If you're somewhere feeling empty
I'll be right here where you left me
Don't forget me
If you're smoking, if you're drinking
If it's raining on the weekend
If you're talking to a stranger
And you like the way it gets you feeling
Something like you felt when you first met me
If you kiss him, don't forget me
Don't forget me
Put my picture in your pocket
Take me everywhere you go
I wish that I could stop you, babe
But I would never slow you down
If you ever get up too high
If you're ever up in your head
If you're ever losing your mind
Just hold on to what I said
On the A train
When you told me you were sorry
You were going where your heart was tryin' to lead you
I knew right then I couldn't keep you
I didn't say it, but it wrecked me
I was thinking when you left me
Don't forget me (don't forget me), don't forget me (don't forget me)
Put my picture in your pocket
Take me everywhere you go
I wish that I could stop you, babe
But I would never slow you down
If you ever get up too high
If you're ever up in your head
If you're ever losing your mind
Just hold on to what I said
Don't forget me
Put my picture in your pocket
Take me everywhere you go
I wish that I could stop you, babe
But I would never slow you down
If you ever get up too high
If you're ever up in your head
If you're ever losing your mind
Just hold on to what I said
Hit the highway headed my way
Don't let nothing stop you
Why wait 'til tomorrow, 'til the morning
Just show up without a warning
I'll be ready when you're ready
I'll be right here where you left me
Don't forget me, don't forget me
Don't forget me, don't forget me
Don't forget me, don't forget me
Don't forget me, don't forget me
Don't forget me, don't forget me
