Memories of You Lyrics
Memories of you
That I just don't have right now
I'll make them up
One cup of wanting you
Two cups of hoping somehow
These things come true
While I'm staring at pictures of you
While I'm staring at pictures of you
Yearning
Longing
Making up memories of you
Making up memories of you
For now.. your picture will do
Dialing you up in my sleep when the nights wearing thin
Won't make it right
My reasons to want to
And 100 reasons to lie
When I don't want to
While I'm staring at pictures of you
While I'm staring at pictures of you
Yearning
Longing
Making up memories of you
Making up memories of you
For now.. your picture will do
That I just don't have right now
I'll make them up
One cup of wanting you
Two cups of hoping somehow
These things come true
While I'm staring at pictures of you
While I'm staring at pictures of you
Longing
Making up memories of you
Making up memories of you
For now.. your picture will do
Won't make it right
My reasons to want to
And 100 reasons to lie
When I don't want to
While I'm staring at pictures of you
While I'm staring at pictures of you
Longing
Making up memories of you
Making up memories of you
For now.. your picture will do

great sunset song, or windy day song, or driving-back-home-after-saying-a-sad-goodbye song
The P.E.R.F.E.C.T song to listen to before going to sleep. The lyrics are incredibly deep too.
I never lose photos for this exact reason.
Not even gonna lie, my favorite Ryan Adams song of all time. It's so heartbreaking and beautiful--everyone can relate to it.
...5 months ago my boyfriend of 3 years broke up with me and I painfully think of him everyday and often look through pictures of us. To me, this song is about that sort of thing--a break-up. When you look at pictures and remember all the memories and moments together. You want them so much, you want things to go back to the way they were..."hoping somehow these things come true..."
And then you always wonder if it's only the memories you love and miss, and wonder if perhaps you're making up so many great memories when there maybe weren't so many memories..."100 reasons to lie"...and you wonder if things can be patched by just that one conversation of feelings.
Maybe I'm taking it too personally, but music changes for every person. This song definitely sums up all I've felt since we broke up.
This song describes perfectly what I went through before me and my girlfriend met.

We chatted online for about 2 months before I actually met her at college and the whole time I was envisioning myself with her and "making memories of us" but all i had of her was a picture. Needless to say I played this song for her when we met....guess it worked!

This song to me is about having a picture of someone you love, and because you arent together u make up memories of the two of you together, memories that you could have had! I think the end "for now... your picture will do" is just so sad, its just so desperate sounding, but so beautiful!!
To me this song reminds me of my love. I see her pictures all the time, and she is not here, so I think of what could be. What I want to happen in the futur for us. Well said Angel.

i just discovered this song last night and it's my story...mine and my boyfriend's. we're apart, more often than not and today i lost the only photograph i had of him(i work overseas).it's sooo infinitely sad and i soooo relate .
This may sound cheesy, but I'm going to play this song on piano and sing it for my Miss Mandarin pageant at my high school. It's a perfectly sweet and plaintive song.
for now... your picture will do. that just hurts you doesnt it hhahaahha. it means that the person you love the most isnt with you, but still youd settle for their picture so i guess its a positive outlook on it.
