“When It Was” Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember when it was 45 outside
But inside we were fogging up the windows
I remember when it was summertime rolling down
Your brown hair, getting backroad wind-blown
I remember when it was I started loving you
The day you played me your favorite song, sharing headphones
Now every ride I take down memory lane, my heart hits a dead-end ro-o-o-oad

[Chorus]
‘Cause it ain’t my truck picking you up
It ain’t my shoulder your head laid on

It ain’t my kiss getting you drunk
It ain’t my songs that you’re singing along to
Yeah, it ain’t my shirt that you’re sleeping in
No, it ain’t my skin on your skin
So, yeah, I should just forget it
‘Cause girl I know it isn’t me making you fall in love
But I remember when it was
Oh, I remember when it was

[Verse 2]
I remember when it was big fight, goodbye
Cover girl tears rolling down your cheeks
I remember when it was my dumbass thinking you’d come back after a couple weeks, now it’s killing me

[Chorus]
‘Cause it ain’t my truck picking you up
It ain’t my shoulder your head laid on
It ain’t my kiss getting you drunk
It ain’t my songs that you’re singing along to
Yeah, it ain’t my shirt that you’re sleeping in
No, it ain’t my skin on your skin
So, yeah, I should just forget it
‘Cause girl I know it isn’t me making you fall in love
But I remember when it was

[Bridge]
It ain’t my hand holding your hand
But I remember when it was
It ain’t us making forever plans
But I remember when it was

[Chorus]
My truck picking you up
My shoulder your head laid on
My kiss getting you drunk
It ain’t my songs that you’re singing along to
Yeah, it ain’t my shirt that you’re sleeping in
No, it ain’t my skin on your skin
So, yeah, I should just forget it
‘Cause girl I know it isn’t me making you fall in love
But I remember when it was
Yeah, I remember when it was

[Outro]
Oh, I remember when it was

Meaning of ‘When It Was’ Lyrics Explained

Verse 1 Meaning:
He’s thinking back to a chilly day when things were still warm and passionate between them. Even though it was cold outside, being close to her made everything feel heated, like fogging up the windows. He remembers carefree summer drives, her hair blowing in the wind, and that special moment when he realized he was falling for her while they shared headphones and listened to her favorite song. Now, whenever he looks back on those memories, it just brings pain because things didn’t turn out how he hoped—they hit a dead end.

Chorus Meaning:
Now he’s stuck watching her live a life that used to be his. She’s getting picked up by someone else, leaning on someone else’s shoulder, and being kissed by someone else. The songs she now enjoys aren’t the ones they used to share, and even the little things—like sleeping in his shirt or touching his skin—are gone. He knows she’s moved on and fallen for someone new, not him. Still, he can’t help but hold on to the time when it was all his, when they were still together.

Verse 2 Meaning:
He remembers the painful moment they fought and said goodbye. She cried real, emotional tears, and even though it hurt, he foolishly thought she’d come back after a couple of weeks. But now that she hasn’t, that false hope is haunting him—it’s eating him up inside.

Chorus Meaning:
Again, he’s facing the harsh truth—someone else is now in the place he used to be. From the pickup truck rides to the intimate moments, none of it involves him anymore. He knows deep down that she’s falling for another guy, and it’s not his love she’s feeling now. Even though he tells himself he should move on, the memories won’t let go. That time in the past still lingers in his mind because, back then, it was all his.

Bridge Meaning:
He’s not the one holding her hand now or planning a future with her. But even so, he keeps thinking about the time when those things were real—when they were still dreaming about forever together.

Chorus Meaning:
He’s now just repeating memories in his head—when she used to ride in his truck, lay her head on his shoulder, and be swept away by his kisses. But now, her life has new songs, new comfort, and someone else’s touch. He reminds himself again that she’s not falling in love with him anymore. But no matter how hard he tries, he can’t stop remembering when it was all his.

Outro Meaning:
He just can’t stop thinking about the past.
