You Can Love a Memory Lyrics

A random intersection- can change my direction

Pave a path to projection for a while

Rural routes and reflection- roundabouts of recollection

Interstates to introspection by the mile

Rolling through the rush hour haze

Glowing in the glimmer of the good old days

Minutes lost to musing- initially soothing

An infusion worth using for a smile

Picturesque and amusing- poring over and perusing

Adding to not diffusing my denial

A flawed approach to finding a grin

Learning the same lesson time and time again

You can love a memory- you can love a memory

You can love a memory- but it can't love you back

Lured by temptation- into a cult of my creation

Where slivers of salvation seem worthwhile

An erstwhile destination- where bouts of frustration

And bursts of brief elation are the style

Euphoric feelings never seem to last

Cause there surely ain't no future living in the past

You can love a memory- you can love a memory

You can love a memory- but it can't love you back

Hours pass, miles go by- reality says goodbye

Scene by scene the bright blue sky- slowly turns to black

You can love a memory- you can love a memory

You can love a memory- but it can't love you back
