"You Got To Me" by James McMurtry is a song that reminisces about a past relationship. The narrator describes a wedding they are attending in a town from their past. They recall the time when they were young and foolish, exploring the town and each other. The narrator realizes that the person they were in love with has moved on, but they haven't and it still affects them deeply. The song explores the theme of love lost and how it can leave a void that never really goes away. The wedding party is a symbol of the end of that chapter in the narrator's life; they realize that they need to move on and find closure. The narrator sees the paper boy and realizes that they are the only ones who truly understand what they are feeling. In the end, the song is about life and the choices we make. The narrator knows that they didn't make the right choices, but they also know that they can't go back and change anything. They can only move forward and try to find happiness in the present. It is a poignant and honest look at the human condition and how we deal with love and loss.
