Thinking of Me Lyrics – Johnny Orlando

[Verse 1]
I, I couldn’t tell you why
But I thought about you last night
First time in a long time
I really never cry, over you and I
But I’m staring at the moon
Are you staring at it too?

Explanation of Verse 1
The speaker expresses surprise and contemplation about thinking of someone they have not allowed about in a long time. The citation of gaping at the moon suggests a reflective and reflective mood. The speaker acknowledges a lack of gashes over the relationship in the history but hints at a change in feelings.

[Pre-Chorus]
I got a book of mental pictures
I look through sometimes but it hurts
Damn, I miss the days when you were mine
You can’t turn back time, trust me I’ve tried

Explanation of Pre-Chorus
The speaker reveals having a collection of internal filmland, conceivably recollections, that they occasionally readdress, indeed though it brings pain. There is a sense of craving for the days when the person was a part of the speaker’s life.

[Chorus]
I know we, weren’t meant to be
But you left fingerprints on my memories
Yeah, I hope you’re living your dream
And this life has become what you thought it’d be
But now and then I hope you’re thinking of mе
(Oh, oh, oh)

Despite the separation, the speaker wishes well for the other person, hoping they’re living their dream and that life has come what they hoped for. The expression” you left fingerprints on my recollections” directly suggests that the impact of the relationship is unforgettable.

[Verse 2]
Swear, wish that I was there
Thе day you turned twenty-one
Did you split a bottle with someone?
You said, “This is for the best”
Maybe you were right ’bout that
Maybe you were wrong and we’ll find a way back

Explanation of Verse 2
