Analysis of Remember When



Remember when we used to spend hours talking on the phone?

We'd talk about our hopes and dreams

Why can't I have that again?

Those inside jokes we had

We used to harmlessly flirt

But then one day you started to treat me like dirt

It's the kind you I miss

I remember way back when

You were protective then

Why can't I have that back again?
