Until You're Erased

Passed that antique store today

The one I’d look inside and say

“Look at that ugly blue giraffe”

You bought it just to make me laugh

Turned and took the long way home

To reach the place I call my own

With the wife, kids, the white picket fence

10 years later it doesn’t make sense

I can’t visit those places until you’re erased

They still spark the same memories, moments I retrace

Just let me forget the sights, the smells, the way that you taste

Will I ever be free until you’re erased?

Your dad still texts me about the game

You answer like everything’s the same

I run a new route just to be alone

But our song comes on on your way home

She grows your favourite flower on our front lawn

You can't tell her that it’s better gone

Lock away the album of those photos cause I know

There’s parts of my life that won’t let you go

I can’t visit those places until you’re erased

They still spark the same memories, moments I retrace

Just let me forget the sights, the smells, the way you taste

Will I ever be free until you’re erased?

Those spots, those shows, those songs

Once were ours, now they all feel wrong

What do I have to do

To look at them and not see you?

Time they say will heal it all

But years go by and still I fall

Our broken pieces find their way

Just as clear as yesterday

I can’t visit those places until you’re erased

They still spark the same memories, moments I retrace

Just let me forget the sights, the smells, the way you taste

Will I ever be free until you’re erased?

I can’t visit those places

They still spark the memories

And the moments I retrace

Just let me forget

Will I ever be free until you’re erased?

Can I ever be free until you’re erased?

I will never be free until you’re erased
