Perfect Memory (I’ll Remember You)

[Verse 1]
Remember how they always seemed to know
We had the forest in our eyes but the earth was in our clothes
They thought we'd fall
Not at all

[Verse 2]
So look back on your treasured days
When we were young in a world that was so tired
Though it's not what we wanted before
Even the saints had to crawl from the floor

[Pre-Chorus]
Summers when the money was gone you'd sing
All your little songs that meant everything to me

[Chorus]
And I'll remember you
And the things that we used to do
And the things that we used to say
I'll remember you
That way

[Verse 3]
Remember how they tried to hold you down
And we climbed those towers and looked out upon our town
And everything you hoped would last
It just always becomes your past
It hurts

[Pre-Chorus]
But summers when the money was gone you'd sing
All your little songs that meant everything to me

[Chorus]
And I'll remember you
And the things that we used to do
And the things that we used to say
I'll remember you
Always

[Verse 4]
But then how this world slipped through my fingers
And even the sun seemed tired
I still cared
As they lowered you down my heart just jaded
In that moment the earth made no sound
But you were there
You helped me lift my pain into the air

[Bridge]
I still miss you
God I still miss you!
I know that you are waiting there
I always thought that you'd come home

[Chorus]
And I'll remember you
And the things that we used to do
And the things that we used to say

[Outro]
If it don't hurt you, it won't hurt me
If it don't hurt me, it won't hurt you
If it don't hurt you, it won't hurt me that way
