lyrics

You were talking real loud when you figured out what i am.
You were staring at the screen and all your magazines
and i can't, just can't.

Though you left, you’re part of me
and you are always there completely
no, you will not ever be without my memory.

So we split a cigarette and now i’m trying to forget what i am. And i am.
You said you can’t recall what i ever said at all
but i can, i just can.
And i asked if i could stay, and you just turned away
said i can’t, i just can’t.
So i’m packing up my things and i’m grabbin my guitar
i’m go a little farther out beyond the wedded wild i’m gonna see
i’m gonna be within the oceanside or in the breeze
i’m gonna be. i’m gonna be. i'm gonna.

Oh you’ll see, you were always there, you complete me
No, you will not ever be without my memory.

And you leave with me
You are always there completely
No you will not ever be without my memory

In time, yeah you grew with me,
so i’ll see you on down the line.
