[Verse 1]

I'm selfish

I always made your problems ’bout me

I can't help it

I wish I had a little empathy for ya

But that night that you told me

That I don't work hard enough

Told me I cried too much

Ripped me to pieces

And then called it love

Oh and I never handled it like I wanted to

What was I supposed to do?

Knowing that both of us had enough

[Chorus]

But when you think of me

I hope you think of Joshua Tree

That summer, where the road went on forever

No end in sight for us

When you think of me

I hope you think of the letters that I sent ya

From across town, just ’cause I missed ya

When the worst was yet to come

'Cause you know I do, when I think of you

Yeah you know I do, when I think of you

[Verse 2]

You're careless

Always saying things you didn't mean

Took me for granted

Expecting me to find the in-between

But that night that I told you that I wouldn't marry you

Swear I could feel from the floor to the ceiling

Your walls came up

So then I pulled you closer, and you pushed me further

And nothing would matter

We kept getting sadder

And called it love

[Chorus]

But when you think of me

I hope you think of Joshua Tree

That summer, where the road went on forever

No end in sight for us

When you think of me

I hope you think of the letters that I sent ya

From across town, just 'cause I missed ya

When the worst was yet to come

'Cause you know I do, when I think of you

Yeah you know I do, when I think of you

[Bridge]

I think of New Year's in San Francisco

Drunk on my roof looking at you

Wrapped up in your coat

So tell me, my dear

What do you think of?

Don’t you remember why we fell in love?

[Chorus]

Oh, when you think of me

I hope you think of Joshua Tree

That summer, where the road went on forever

No end in sight for us

When you think of me

I hope you think of the letters that I sent ya

From across town, just ’cause I missed ya

When the worst was yet to come

'Cause you know I do, when I think of you, oh baby

Yeah, you know I do, when I think of you

I think of you, I think of you, baby

Are you thinking ’bout me, baby?

I'm thinking 'bout ya
