[Verse 1]
I keep your photo by the sink
Faded edges, cracked ink
Your laugh still lives in the glass
When I rinse my hands, it comes back
The porch light, the hard rain
Your bare feet in the summer game
I can taste that yellow pie
And I hate how fast time flies
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it starts so soft
Then it claws my chest
One more smile
And I can't forget
I hear you call
From the next room
Then the dark leans in
And the walls break loose
[Chorus]
Memories, memories
Don't let me go
Memories, memories
You're all I know
Hold me tight
Before I fade
Memories, memories
Save me today (save me)
[Verse 2]
We danced in the hallway glow
Cheap tape deck, moving slow
Your hand on mine, steady and warm
Now the air tastes like a storm
There's a name scratched into wood
Little marks where our table stood
I trace the lines with shaking thumbs
And I feel that thing near my tongue
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it starts so soft
Then it claws my chest
One more smile
And I can't forget
I hear you call
From the next room
Then the dark leans in
And the walls break loose
[Chorus]
Memories, memories
Don't let me go
Memories, memories
You're all I know
Hold me tight
Before I fade
Memories, memories
Save me today (save me)
[Bridge]
There's a voice in the mirror
Saying, "Let it burn"
But I won't give you up
No, I won't learn
I see your face in the fever
I see mine split in two
If I lose all this love
What the hell do I do?
[Final Chorus]
Memories, memories
Don't let me go
Memories, memories
You're all I know
Hold me tight
Before I fade
Memories, memories
Save me today (save me)
Memories, memories
I won't let you die
Memories, memories
You keep me alive
