I Remember

Verse 1

I drew a 2 of hearts from a deck of cards

A stock trick from my empty repertoire

Another hopeless story never read at all

I'm better off looking for the end

Where the credits are

It's a pain living life against the grain

I'm looking back and y'all look the same

Troy, Mark, and little what's his name

Memory is rerunning it all

It's the flight of my fall and it's right on the wall

Hook

I remember

Can you remember?

How it was

I do

Remember, do you?

repeat

Verse 2

I used to ride the train to the same two stops

And look at the graffiti on the rooftops

Like the same song playing on the jukebox

Joint called "Faded Polaroids In A Shoebox"

Regardless to what the cadence is

It can't be forgotten like old acquaintances

I realize how depressing of a place it is

And when I notice my reflection whose face it is

Hook

I remember

Can you remember?

How it was

I do

Remember, do you?

repeat

Musical break

Hook

I remember

Can you remember?

How it was

I do

Remember, do you?

repeat

Verse 3

It's only human to express the way you really feel

But that same humanity is my Achilles' heel

A leopard can't change his spots and never will

So I'm forever ill

Now I can never chill

What's keeping me from breaking out like Benadryl

When my baptism of fire resulted in a kill

Sometimes it's as cut and dry as a business deal

You gotta cause the blood of a close friend to spill

But you remember still
