In A Memory (Acoustic Mix)

In A Memory

When I was twelve

I couldn’t spell

But I could spell your name

Write it with words you never heard

And words I’d never say

Write it on notes

Folded into boats

And send them down the drain

Hoped they’d wash out

Down to your house

On a rainy day

And its not easy living in a memory

its not easy thinking about what could be

 

When I grew up

I took the bus

Back to the place we lived

Walked the path

That we took back

From school when we were kids

Used to try

I’d spend the night

Running through what ifs

When I left

Thought I’d forget

But I never did

And its not easy living in a memory

It's not easy thinking about what could be

I wish I could know you

I wish

I could know you again

Wish I could’ve told you

What I should’ve told you then

But no matter where I go

I’m still living down the road

In a yellow house with a letter that I didn’t send

And it's not easy living in a memory

It's not easy thinking about what could be
