Lyrics

Do you remember the podcast about the guy who dying?

So his mom and his girlfriend came to live with him

And his next-door neighbor saw it all through her window

They cleaned out his apartment and someone else moved in

You said it got you thinking, what if you lost me

And a couple of years was all the time we got to have?

And then you started crying, I think I did too

And we held each other in the back of the cab

Do you remember your birthday out in Carroll Gardens

At the bar where they taught you all the tricks of the trade?

Do you remember how badly I could get it wrong sometimes

And how aptly you could make it ok?

Do you remember surprising me with Halloween decorations?

We went to the movies and were too scared to hold hands

But I wasn’t joking the time I promised

That I would carry you across the desert sands

Then I tried to hold you to that but you ran

Then I tried to hold on to you but I just don’t think I can

Do you remember Jamaica? Do you remember New Jersey?

Do you remember New Orleans, the North Fork and LA?

Do you remember the first time I told you that I loved you?

We’d been having a dumb fight, it could no longer wait

Do you remember the gunshots that we heard in Minnesota?

Or the night you kicked your sandals off over the fence?

I climbed into the churchyard and got them for you

Oh you were so mad at a text your mom had sent

I’m just trying to find where all these moments went

Do you remember the hurricane on 8th and Jane?

Or did you just forget?

I guess I’m only asking because somebody has to

And based on my bloodline, I fear for my memory

So like the dutchman and dear Margaret

I was just wondering if you’d remember for me

‘Cause one day I won’t know your number or your nickname

I’m already struggling just trying to picture your face

I guess that’s why I have to keep a record

So we don’t vanish without a trace

So we don’t vanish without a trace

So we don’t vanish

So we don’t vanish
