She’s always looking for words she thinks they’re hiding
I feel so guilty now and then because of course I’m hiding them… inside me
Now I can’t say them like she can she just needs to know I’m trying
[pre-choirs]
So she wrote down a few of her favorite things and then she wrote a couple nother hundred things that changed
About a person she cannot see
About the angel that stares at me
And all these damn lightning bugs
They’re slipping away with every day that she grows older
And all she wants is just a memory to hold her
And she says remember me
And she says remember me
[Short acoustic guitar break]
A definition of a word is not definitive to her
She wonders like I wonder
How I found her in these thunderclouds
So she looked it up and reads it loud
And sits back and wonders how
It got this way
And who’s to say?
[pre-choirs]
And we wrote down a few of her favorite things and would you know I couldn’t find a single thing that changed
About a world that I cannot see
When she’s sitting so close to me
And all these damn lightning bugs
They’re slipping away with every day that she grows older
And all she wants is just a memory to hold her
And she says remember me
[bridge]
And while the brightest star burns out
She’s wishin’ away
To find the truth in something different
Because she’s just like me
She’s only seen it at a distance
And she says remember me
And she says remember me(and she says hold onto me)
(Short Guitar solo)
[bridge 2]
So I brought you this jar
Here you go you can hold it
But you ran away just to spoil the moment
I found you not far from the woods where you told me about
(the things that you told me about)
[soft]
And all these damn lightning bugs
They’re slipping away
(Slippin’ away)
(Slippin’ away oh)
And she says remember me
And she says remember me
(and she says hold onto me)
