Think of You

    Artists: Chris Young

    featuring Cassadee Pope

    I walk in on Friday nights

    Same old bar, same burned out lights

    Same people and all the same faces

    So why in the hell does it feel like a different place?

    Meet my friends for a girls’ night out

    Seems there ain’t much to talk about

    Same drinks that we’re all raising

    But all of the toasts just don’t feel the same

    We used to be the life of the party

    We used to be the ones that they wished they were

    But now it’s like they don’t know how to act

    Maybe they’re like me and they want us back

    It’s like there’s always an empty space

    Those memories that nobody can erase

    Of how bright we burned

    Well now it hurts, but it’s true

    When they think of me, they think of you

    They keep asking how I am

    But they’re really asking where you’ve been

    I can read between all of the lines

    It ain’t just us missing all of the times

    We were the life of the party

    We used to be the ones that they wished they were

    But now it’s like they don’t know how to act

    Maybe they’re like me and they want us back

    It’s like there’s always an empty space

    Those memories that nobody can erase

    Of how bright we burned

    Well now it hurts, but it’s true

    When they think of me, they think of you

    Ain’t it funny how a flame like that

    Oh whoa, when they think of you

    It can burn when it’s in the past

    ...

    Oh, they think of you

    When they think of me

    Baby, baby, oh, oh

    Oh

    When they think of me, they think of you

    Background

    Chris Young’s new duet single portrays a recently broken up man and woman revisiting the stomping grounds they once shared as a couple. The verses are laced with small details that make it easy for the listener to picture the scene. The song is a refreshing collaboration that injects some welcome angst into the emotional sterility of today’s country radio.
