Memory Palace

[Hrishikesh Hirway, Hrishikesh and Jenny Owen Youngs]

[Verse 1]
Skyline’s slowly slipping out of sight
In darkness, in the distance
With the room where I thought every night
I knew you, the true you
But love, the light around that picture’s going dim

So before the sweetest memories cave in
I’m not giving up, just giving in
Yeah, I’m leaving, I’m leaving
I still love you, so I’m leaving tonight

[Verse 2]
I’ve been changing I know you can tell
My hands shake, your heart aches
Bodies slowly swap out every cell
Rearrange us into strangers
Until the person who you are is not who you’ve been

[Chorus]
So before the sweetest memories cave in
I’m not giving up, just giving in
Yeah, I’m leaving, I’m leaving
I still love you, so I’m leaving tonight

[Outro]
Come on, come on
We both know that the dark has set on
Come on, come on
And the storm’s gonna hit before long
So when you get this I’ll already be gone
Remember all the sweetness after I’m gone
