Memory Lane
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You and I
Were once in love
And not the kind you stumble on
The circumstance would have its way
Separation with the day
(Memory lane, memory lane)
Yeah, you said that you had changed
And that things could never be the same
The chance we had is too far gone
And now you're happy on your own
I must say that yes, I agree
That I could see things work out differently
(Memory lane, memory lane)
(Memory lane, memory lane)
Memory lane, memory lane
And it's me and you
Memory lane, I'm in memory lane
You should be here too
Memory lane, memory lane
Running through my brain
Why don't you love me like I know that you can
I'll say it again, it doesn't have to be a memory lane
I can't say that it would work
With life they say that trying never hurts
'Cause life's too short to say you can't
And love deserves a second chance
I know that you probably don't agree
But please look at the possibilities
(Of memory lane, memory lane)
(Memory lane, memory lane)
Memory lane, memory lane
And it's me and you
Memory lane, I'm in memory lane
You should be here too
Memory lane, memory lane
Running through my brain
Why don't you love me like I know that you can
I'll say it again, it doesn't have to be a memory lane
And it's me and you
Memory lane, I'm in memory lane
You should be here too
Memory lane, memory lane
Running through my brain
Why don't you love me like I know that you can
I'll say it again, it doesn't have to be a memory lane
I'll say it again, it doesn't have to be a memory lane
I'll say it again...
