More For The Memoir Lyrics

The gas light's been on since I don't know when

And in the rearview mirror, dark clouds

Coffee is weak but the refills are free

At the place on the way out of town

Couple changes of clothes, I've got everything I need

There's my baby and her brother in his booster seat

A note that says "breathe - remember who you are"

It's just more for the memoir

We're going back – to the drawing board

You fill a page, tear it up and fill two more

Back, back but we're moving forward

Everybody's got their scars

It's just more for the memoir

Contestant number three was not the charm

Guess there's plenty of that you can fake

My sister warned me right from the start

But she said me and my babies could stay at her place

One door closes, another opens wide

I won't be afraid and I won't stop trying

Everybody's story's got a few false starts

It's just more for the memoir

We're going back – to the drawing board

You fill a page, tear it up and fill two more

Back, back but we're moving forward

Everybody's got their scars

It's just more for the memoir

It's just something you can tell yourself to ease the pain

When you can't seem to catch a break

Or if you're having a day, I'm always having a day

But it's going to be okay – we got this

We're going back – to the drawing board

You fill a page, tear it up and fill two more

Back, back but we're moving forward

Everybody's got their scars

It's just more for the memoir

It's just more for the memoir

We've got a story to tell, and it's ours

It's just more for the memoir
