Arms Around a Memory

[Verse 1]

Oh, for them New York City summer streets

All of the hours lost between

There was always a beautiful sky

And you on your contact high

And me with my broken bottle smile

[Verse 2]

Well, I put my arms around a memory

Though you'd always told me not to try (Wrapping my arms)

Didn't we make a beautiful life

In your eighth floor walk-up that night?

The way two words, they make a rhyme

[Chorus]

And I got to questioning my credibility

Like you're the reliable witness to what I feel

Though I can still taste all the sweetness of what we had

And there's no one will kiss me as deep as you know you have

[Post-Chorus]

Once that I saw how to see

All of your lovе was looking back at me

It was hard not to fulfil the prophecy wе could have been

[Verse 3]

Oh, but now California's out of reach

With all of those colours bleed between

There's always a beautiful sky

Me on my contact high

And you with your broken bottle dreams

[Chorus]

And if you get to questioning my credibility

Like you're the reliable witness to what I feel

Though I can still taste all the sweetness of what we had

There's no one will touch me as deep as you know you have

[Post-Chorus]

Once that I saw how to see

All of your love was looking back at me

It was hard not to fulfil the prophecy we'd always been
