Lyrics

Read About Memory

I remember driving And the smell of rain Your hand was out the window Flying like plane I remember smiling And staring at your face Like it would disappear If I blinked or looked away Old hickory and your sack dress Won't let me go just yet I remember sitting On your folk's pull-out couch You kept saying it was cold I was staring at your mouth But the more I read about memory The less I pay it mind It's just a story that we tell ourselves Almost a lullaby Your eyes in the TV glow They will not let me go And I know we had our reasons why But I cannot hold them in my mind Yeah I know we had our reasons why But I remember watching You cross the room I knew all your friends But I did not know you And when you said your name I felt vaguely sick The whole world swung beneath us I loved you so quick You laughed and turned your head I can’t get free of it And I know we had our reasons why But I cannot hold them in my mind And I know we had some real bad times But i cannot hold them in my mind In my mind In my mind
