Keith Urban - You'll Think of Me Lyrics
Lyrics
I woke up early this morning around 4a.m.
With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake
Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms
I've been trying my best to get along
But that's okay there's nothing left to say but.
Take your records, take you freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me.
I went out driving, trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been
What we should have been.
So.
Take your records, take you freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me.
Someday I'm gonna run across your mind
Don't worry, I'll be fine
I'm gonna be alright
While you're sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I'll be over you
And on with my life.
Take your records, take you freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me.
Take your records, take you freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me.
And you're gonna think of me
Oh, someday baby, someday...

Meaning & Inspiration
“You'll Think of Me,” released by Keith Urban in 2014, delves into the poignant aftermath of a relationship's end, exploring the lingering presence of love and the inevitable reminders that surface in everyday life. The song captures the quiet melancholy of a past connection that, despite its closure, continues to echo in the protagonist's world. It’s a reflection on how deeply intertwined our experiences become with the people we've shared them with, suggesting that memories aren't simply erased but rather re-contextualized. This sentiment resonates deeply with the biblical understanding of how our lives are interconnected and how shared moments leave an indelible mark. Just as the psalmist declared in Psalm 139:7-10, "Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall guide me, your right hand shall hold me fast," we see a parallel in how the song’s narrator experiences the inescapable presence of their former love. While the song doesn't explicitly reference divine presence, it highlights a human truth – that certain connections are so profound they become woven into the fabric of our existence. The lyrics suggest a hope, perhaps subconscious, for reconciliation or at least for a recognition of the shared past. This echoes the biblical narrative of redemption and remembrance, where God’s faithfulness and love for His people endure, even through periods of distance and trial. The song's message encourages a thoughtful contemplation of how our relationships, both those that flourish and those that fade, shape us and leave behind imprints that, like the enduring presence of God described in Lamentations 3:22-23, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness," continue to be a part of our journey. “You’ll Think of Me” speaks to the human experience of enduring love and the persistent echoes of past connections, reminding us that even in separation, the marks of meaningful relationships remain, prompting reflection and a deeper understanding of how we are shaped by those we have loved.
