Memory Palace

[Hrishikesh Hirway, Hrishikesh and Jenny Owen Youngs]

[Verse 1]

Skyline’s slowly slipping out of sight

In darkness, in the distance

With the room where I thought every night

I knew you, the true you

But love, the light around that picture’s going dim

So before the sweetest memories cave in

I’m not giving up, just giving in

Yeah, I’m leaving, I’m leaving

I still love you, so I’m leaving tonight

[Verse 2]

I’ve been changing I know you can tell

My hands shake, your heart aches

Bodies slowly swap out every cell

Rearrange us into strangers

Until the person who you are is not who you’ve been

[Chorus]

So before the sweetest memories cave in

I’m not giving up, just giving in

Yeah, I’m leaving, I’m leaving

I still love you, so I’m leaving tonight

[Outro]

Come on, come on

We both know that the dark has set on

Come on, come on

And the storm’s gonna hit before long

So when you get this I’ll already be gone

Remember all the sweetness after I’m gone
