Remember

I remember
The way things used to be
But my dark nights by street lights
Are so long gone

He remembers
The freckles in my eyes
To touch my face, sweep my hair
The sound of my laugh

This can't be some soon to be photos lost in a box
This can't be a overdrawn overexposed lust in life
This is just so much more
And I won't let your memories drown us out
Baby, I won't let them drown you out

I remember
College fall afternoons
The crunch of leaves under boots & trees
Every bit of red

But he remembers
The words to my words
My favorite song about how you did me wrong
And the night we met

This can't be some soon to be photos lost in a box
This can't be a overdrawn overexposed lust in life
This is just so much more
And I won't let your memories drown us out
Baby, I won't let them drown you out

Something about that bar night in my small town
Set me straight, set me stuck on you
I won't get lost in the boxes in my closet
I won't get lost without you

And I won't let their memories drown us out
Baby, I won't let them drown you out
