Mostly Memories Lyrics

I can't seem to recognize either side
Of this modern version or fading person I was
I've tried to memorize dates and times
Of old accidents and the failed attempts

Now I'm still afraid of those mistakes I've made

I'm mostly memories
Most missed opportunities
Mostly minor tragedies
I'm mostly you and me
Mostly memories
Most missed opportunities
Mostly abnormalities
I'm mostly you and me
You and me

I can't seem to recognize either side
Of my conversations or contemplations I've done
I've tried to memorize the truth and lies
Of the facts and fictions and half-truth admissions I've done

Now I'm still afraid of those mistakes I've made

I'm mostly memories
Most missed opportunities
Mostly minor tragedies
I'm mostly you and me
Mostly memories
Most missed opportunities
Mostly abnormalities
I'm mostly you and me
You and me

Out of luck and had enough
Out of trust and out of touch
Out of time, I'm hanging up

I'm mostly memories
Most missed opportunities
Mostly minor tragedies
I'm mostly you and me
Mostly memories
Most missed opportunities
Mostly abnormalities
I'm mostly you and me
You and me

The Rest Of My Life

I can't seem to recognize either side 
Of this modern version or fading person I was
I've tried to memorize dates and times
Of old accidents and the failed attempts

Now I'm still afraid of those mistakes I've made

I'm mostly memories
Most missed opportunities
Mostly minor tragedies
I'm mostly you and me
Mostly memories
Most missed opportunities
Mostly abnormalities
I'm mostly you and me
You and me

I can't seem to recognize either side
Of my conversations or contemplations I've done
I've tried to memorize the truth and lies
Of the facts and fictions and half-truth admissions I've done

Now I'm still afraid of those mistakes I've made

I'm mostly memories
Most missed opportunities
Mostly minor tragedies
I'm mostly you and me
Mostly memories
Most missed opportunities
Mostly abnormalities
I'm mostly you and me
You and me

Out of luck and had enough
Out of trust and out of touch
Out of time, I'm hanging up

I'm mostly memories
Most missed opportunities
Mostly minor tragedies
I'm mostly you and me
Mostly memories
Most missed opportunities
Mostly abnormalities
I'm mostly you and me
You and me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
