Linger Lyrics by Simone

Someone You Remember

2024

[Verse 1]
You said you loved me from the first second
I said, "Honey, that's impossible"
My hair was short
Yours was always how it is:
Out of place, and I still had my braces on
You laughed it off, said it didn't look that bad
I disagreed, and you kissed my neck

[Chorus]
I forgot your number, your face, and your friends
Strange how fast I knew you, then didn't again
I've done everything that I can to forget
Somehow you still linger, even after you left
Somehow you still linger

[Verse 2]
You took me back to your apartment
You shared a bunk bed with your brother
Turned on the TV, but we made out through the movie
Now I can't watch that show anymore
Hailed for a cab, you said, "Call me when you're home"
So I did, and we talked all night

[Chorus]
I forgot your number, your face, and your friends
Strange how fast I knew you, then didn't again
I've done everything that I can to forget
Somehow you still linger, even after you left

[Bridge]
And I hate to think you don't remember
All the little things that I do
Why would you?
And I hate that I bring you up in conversation
Like you're there to come home to
I might miss you

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, we linger

Somehow you still linger

[Chorus]
I forgot your number, your face, and your friends
Strange how fast I knew you, then didn't again
I've done everything that I can to forget
Somehow you still linger, even after you left
Somehow you still linger (aah, aah)
Somehow you still linger (I've done everything that I can)
Somehow you still linger (aah, aah)
Somehow you still linger
