The Memory Lyrics

Ran across the driveway

Did it all it see your face

Back then I was naïve

Never thought I'd be replaced

I didn't mind hanging out at your parents place

Saw a picture of you taller than you used to be

Then again I last saw you when you were 17

You're working in cafés

But still awkward socially

Oh, and I remember

Nights under candlelights

Told you that I wanted this forever

And it's something that I thought you'd like

Oh,

Let's go back to the memory

Buy that house with the willow tree

Chase that feeling that you gave to me

Let's go back to the memory

Cause distant ain't what we should be

Heard you finished college

But you never thought you would

Graduated early

Like I always knew you could

Finally made it out of the neighborhood

Saw you on the subway

You were there with someone new

Were you?

Were you?

Maybe in another lifetime I'd be going home to you

Home to you, oh

You know I'd be happy to

Oh, and I remember

Nights under candlelights

Told you that I wanted this forever

And it's something that I thought you'd like

Oh,

Let's go back to the memory

Buy that house with the willow tree

Chase that feeling that you gave to me

Let's go back to the memory

Cause distant ain't what we should be

Distant ain't what we should be

No one told me I would be lonely

Couldn't save me

Still can't forget those days

You were my forever and only

Took a second for you to take it all away

So let's go back to the memory

Buy that house with the willow tree

Chase that feeling that you gave to me

Oh, let's go back

Let's go back
