Memory

[Verse 1]
They say I'm just like you minus the bad things
Sometimes the bad doesn't seem so wrong to me 'cause
I still smell the cigarettes inside of your coat pocket
And hear exactly how you used to sing, oh

[Verse 2]
Ash trays and piano notes jumbled together
The history of earth before dinner
They say I'm just like you minus the bad things
But I am forgetting what that means

[Chorus]
Memory, memory, memory
Can you return now and talk to me
Before you're a ghost in my dreams?
Memory, memory, memory
Why are you hiding out now from me?
You're fading so far off from me, oh
They say I'm just like you minus the bad things
But I can't remember what they mean

[Verse 3]
I can't see the details, only the broad strokes
Of who it is that you really were, oh
Cadillac to hell and back and Saturday mornings
Breakfast coffee and a brief lecture, oh
They say I'm just like you now I am wondering
If I will remember anything

[Chorus]
Memory, memory, memory
Can you return now and talk to me
Before you're a ghost in my dreams?
Memory, memory, memory
Why are you hiding out now from me?
You're fading so far off from me, oh
They say I'm just like you minus the bad things
But I can't remember what they mean

[Refrain]
Memory, memory, memory
Memory, memory, memory

[Chorus]
Memory, memory, memory
Can you return now and talk to me
Before you're a ghost in my dreams?
Memory, memory, memory
Why are you hiding out now from me?
You're fading so far off from me, oh
They say I'm just like you minus the bad things
But I can't remember what they mean
