Think of me when you're out, when you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
And when the world treats you way too fairly
Well it's a shame I'm a dream

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
Wake up early to black and white re-runs?
That escaped from my mouth

Oh, oh

[Chorus]
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning
And just to relive the start
And maybe then we'll remember to slow down
At all of our favorite parts

All I wanted was you

[Chorus]

    Song Comparison:Matchbook Romance - Tiger Lily:
    "Why don't we hit restart,
    And pause it at our favorite parts?"

    Notice anything?

    Song Meaning:"This was one of those random lyrics that I never really pulled from any specific incident. Chad was going on tour for the first time in a while and I was loud with writing and living in Franklin. It was an ‘emo’ kind of day. I’m proud of the obscurity in the lyrics while still remaining pretty personal"

    Hayley wrote the meanings for all the songs in the Brand New Eyes lyric/journal book.

    General Comment:Pretty obvious that it's about Josh marrying Jenna.

    General Comment:I only signed up to this site just to explain this.

    It's not about Chad people, it is really about Josh, they have been too complicated with each other, actually, Hayley wrote this song when she and Josh gave it up to be together and find their selves in separate ways.. like Hayley&Chad, then Josh got married to Jenna... it's really about Josh people.


    "think of me when you're out there"


    it explains a lot... Hayley is aware of the Farro brothers are leaving the band right after BNE.

    General Comment:I'll start by saying that I adore this song. Wow. The vocals and lyrics are so amazing.
    "And wake up early to black and white reruns that escape from my mouth"
    I know that feeling; falling asleep only to wake up and once again start the day with saying how much in love you still are.
    "..just to relive the start.."
    I think everyone feels that way at one point, like if given the chance they wouuld relive the best parts and not change a thing. Beautiful song. Makes me cry.

    General Comment:This song is actually not about Josh. It's about her current boyfriend Chad and how she felt when he went on tour and she couldn't see him for a long time. It said this in the "Hayley's Brand New Eyes Journal". This is such a beautiful song.
