lyrics

We sang songs we’d forgotten existed
Old songs that once meant so much to us
Satisfaction before salvation
But you can’t always get what you want

I tried to sing my way home
Melodies won’t bring me there
Just know you’re in every word I choose to write
And everyone I’ve ever meant

I remember every word you once said to me
Memorized the flick of your wily tongue
You told me some day you’d be proud of me
And proud of everything I’ve done

Chased off shadows closing around me
Caught me with my back against the wall
You cut through haze, a shot of clarity
“You’ll never fly if you don’t fall”

I remember every word you once said to me
Memorized the flick of your wily tongue
You told me some day you’d be proud of me
And proud of everything I’ve done

All these nights I’d want to be
Drinking scotch with you instead of
Staying here, away from home
Passing out at 4 am

I remember every word you once said to me
Memorized the flick of your wily tongue
You told me some day you’d be proud of me
And proud of everything I’ve done

I remember every word you once said to me
Memorized the flick of your wily tongue
You told me some day you’d be proud of me
And proud of everything I’ve done
