Things I Won't Forget

“Holocene” tattooed on your side

Black Volvo smelling like leather

Feeling maybe like I got it right

Throwing darts St. Patrick’s Day weather

The first time you took me to bed

Things I won’t forget

Seagulls flying in La Jolla

Head on your shoulder on the plane ride home

And knowing I was falling for you

Dancing to “My Girl” on a golf course lawn

Three words you never said

Things I won’t forget

Wish you were a telephone number or a face in a crowd

Just something that leaves your mind if you don’t write it down

But dammit don’t you just stick in my head

Cause baby you’re the thing I won’t forget

A ghost on all of my favorite records

Feeling like you hid me from this town

And part of me wondering if you’d ever take care of me

Stead of it always being the other way around

Trying so hard to clean the mess

Things I won’t forget

Wish you were a telephone number or a face in a crowd

Just something that leaves your mind if you don’t write it down

But dammit don’t you just stick in my head

Cause baby you’re the thing I won’t forget

You telling me you’re a sinking ship

Me fighting for you like a fool

Guess you wouldn’t let me go down with it

Oh but what if I wanted to

Taillights burning red

Not even knowing it was the end

Things I Won’t Forget
