Arms Around a Memory

[Verse 1]
Oh, for them New York City summer streets
All of the hours lost between
There was always a beautiful sky
And you on your contact high
And me with my broken bottle smile

[Verse 2]
Well, I put my arms around a memory
Though you'd always told me not to try (Wrapping my arms)
Didn't we make a beautiful life
In your eighth floor walk-up that night?
The way two words, they make a rhyme

[Chorus]
And I got to questioning my credibility
Like you're the reliable witness to what I feel
Though I can still taste all the sweetness of what we had
And there's no one will kiss me as deep as you know you have

[Post-Chorus]
Once that I saw how to see
All of your lovе was looking back at me
It was hard not to fulfil the prophecy wе could have been

[Verse 3]
Oh, but now California's out of reach
With all of those colours bleed between
There's always a beautiful sky
Me on my contact high
And you with your broken bottle dreams

[Chorus]
And if you get to questioning my credibility
Like you're the reliable witness to what I feel
Though I can still taste all the sweetness of what we had
There's no one will touch me as deep as you know you have

[Post-Chorus]
Once that I saw how to see
All of your love was looking back at me
It was hard not to fulfil the prophecy we'd always been
