I remember driving and the smell of rain
And your hand was out the window, flying like a plane
I remember smiling and staring at your face
Like it would disappear if I blinked and looked away
Old hickory in your sack dress won't let me go just yet
I remember saying
On your folks' pull-out couch
You kept saying it was cold
I was staring at your mouth
And the more I read about memory
The less I pay in mind
It's just a story that we tell ourselves
Almost a lullaby
Your eyes in the TV glow
They will not go out
Let me go
And I know we had our reasons why
But I cannot hold them in my mind
Yeah, I know we had our reasons why
Instead I
I remember watching you cross the room
I knew all your friends
I did not know you
And when you said your name
I felt vaguely sick
And the whole world swung beneath us
I loved you so much



You left and turned your head, I can't get free of it
Yeah, I know we had our reasons why
But I cannot hold them in my mind
Yeah, I know we had some real moments
And bad times
But I cannot hold them in my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
