The Persistence of Memory Lyrics
I remember driving
And the smell of rain
Your hand was out the window
Flying like a plane
I remember smiling
And staring at your face
Like it could disappear
If I blinked or looked away
Old hickory, in your sad dress
Won't let me go just yet
Well I remember sitting
On your folks pull out couch
Kept saying it was cold
I was staring at your mouth
But the more I read by memory
The less I pay it mind
Just a story that we tell ourselves
Almost a lullaby
But your eyes in the TV glow
They still won't let me go
Oh, I know we had our reasons why
But I can not hold them in my mind
I know we had our reasons why, reasons why
But instead I,
I remember watching
You across the room
Yeah, I knew all your friends
But I did not know you
Then when you said your name
I almost felt sick
The whole world spun around
I loved you so quick
You laughed and turned your head
I can't get free of it
Oh, I know we had our reasons why
I know we had some real bad times
But I can not hold them in my mind, in my mind
And the smell of rain
Your hand was out the window
Flying like a plane
I remember smiling
And staring at your face
Like it could disappear
If I blinked or looked away
Won't let me go just yet
On your folks pull out couch
Kept saying it was cold
I was staring at your mouth
But the more I read by memory
The less I pay it mind
Just a story that we tell ourselves
Almost a lullaby
They still won't let me go
But I can not hold them in my mind
I know we had our reasons why, reasons why
But instead I,
You across the room
Yeah, I knew all your friends
But I did not know you
Then when you said your name
I almost felt sick
The whole world spun around
I loved you so quick
I can't get free of it
I know we had some real bad times
But I can not hold them in my mind, in my mind
