Butch Walker & Spencer Smith & Brendon UrieAbout
The boy gives up his devout church life for a girl, and the girl gives up her family for the boy. They plan their life together, but in the end it doesn’t work out and becomes mere “memories.”
The moral is that there’s no point in a “five year plan”, because it’s probably not gonna work out anyway.
Memories Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He was the congregation's vagrant
With an unrequited love
When your passion's exaltation
Then finding refuge is not enough
She was the youngest of the family
And the last to be let go
When they decided they would try
And make it on their own
[Chorus]
Oh, memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Where'd you go?
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
When July became December
Their affection fought the cold
But they couldn't quite remember
What inspired them to go
And it was beautifully depressing
Like A Streetcar Named Desire
They were fighting for their love
That had started growing tired (Tired)
[Chorus]
Oh, memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Don't fade away
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
When money lost momentum
And the bills were piling high
Then the smile had finally faded
From the apple of their eye
They were young and independent
And they thought they had it planned
Should've known right from the start
You can't predict the end
[Chorus]
Oh, memories, where'd you go?
You were all I've ever known
How I miss yesterday
And how I let it fade away
Oh, memories, where'd you go? (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
You were all I've ever known (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
How I miss yesterday (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
And how I let it fade away (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Don't fade away
(Ah)

Does Brendon hate Memories?
You know what song was really fun to write actually? It was with Butch Walker, a song called Memories. You know what’s so funny about it too is that I was in a really sour mood and some interviewer asked me the question of what was my least favorite song, and I was like “I don’t have an answer for t...
What song inspired Memories?
Memories is a fun one ‘cause I was taking inspiration from Scenes from an Italian Restaurant by Billy Joel which you would never know by listening to it 'cause sonically it doesn’t sound like that. Lyrically, storywise, I was ripping from Scenes from an Italian Restaurant. You know Brenda and Eddie...
