Brain Is for Lovers

I remember, oh, remember when there was only one continent Life was simple then, friends and cigarettes meant everything I still laugh out loud when I think about the things your t-shirt said Our whole lives unfolded between now and then We moved up and out, but I remember when I remember when Somehow, the neighbors never killed us for all we put 'em through Band practice in your room It's a miracle we ever crawled, as sure learned to run, but Goddamn, what a lotta fun Livin' on cheap beer and a minimum wage It's a shame things have to change But it's universal, things explode and move apart Time makes your lungs and skin, but your real friends get your heart I'm sorry you felt so alone, but you were wrong I was with you I remember you I remember you! I say your name out loud, nobody understands How could that be true? You're so essential to my growing up, it's like we never parted No me without a you I think about you every day (I think about you every day) You're in so many things I do and say But it's universal, things explode and move apart Time makes your lungs and skin, but your real friends get your heart I shoulda called, I coulda checked, I shoulda tried To let you know I saw the sadness in your eyes I'm sorry you felt so alone, but you were wrong I was with you You were with me I remember you I remember you I remember you
