I remember thinking
I'll go on forever only knowing
I'll see you again
But I know
The touch of you is so hard to remember
But like that touch I know no other
And for sure we have danced
In the risk of each other
Would you like to dance
Around the world with me

I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know you're the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung
Around my head

And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The scene of the greatest view
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up

I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other

I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know you're the heaviest weight
When you're not here that's hung
Around my head

And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up

    ok this song isnt about Ashley, i know for certain it isnt. As papabobdole said about this song is written about a girl who turned dave's proposal down numerous times along with the song "halloween" (which is a very angry song) I doubt Ashley turned Dave down numerous times. This song, "Halloween" and "Grey Street" were all written about a girl named Julia Grey, and "Recently" might have been written about her as well, i'm not sure, but the rest i am sure of. This is the first dave song ever written, he quit his job at Miller's after writing this song after he realized his talent was to be writing songs and singing on stage.
    The fact that he wrote this song and all the others from "remember two things" and the "Recently LP" pre-1992 doesnt add up to this song being about Ashley.
