Lyrics

Army ball cap on the dash, the sun is breaking low
Same worn-out blue jeans that you always loved the most
I should be feeling something more, maybe angry, maybe free
But I'm just running on the memory of what you used to be to me
I passed our spot down by the creek, the one where we carved our names
The stone's still there, but the water's different, nothing ever stays the same
I'm just getting by
Living life like it ain't a lie
Every memory, that you meant to me
It's just not the same, and I hate the way
That I'm getting by
Do the memories, still fall like leaves
When you think of me
Got my truck detailed and clean, traded the old for the new
Tried to erase the ghost of every Friday night ride with you
My friends all say I look better, I tell 'em I finally slept
But they don't see me staring out the window, counting promises I regret
I smile and nod and talk about the weather, put on my best front
Cause it's easier to pretend I'm okay than to tell 'em what I want
I'm just getting by
Living life like it ain't a lie
Every memory, that you meant to me
It's just not the same, and I hate the way
That I'm getting by
Do the memories, still fall like leaves
When you think of me
Yeah, I know time is supposed to heal, that's what the song on the radio preaches
But I'm stuck right here in the middle, dealing with the hand life teaches
I keep looking over my shoulder, at every car that passes by
Hoping maybe you made a mistake, hoping you'd give us one last try
And I wonder if you ever drive down this same highway alone
Do you feel that empty passenger seat, miss my name in your phone
Or did you just flip the switch, cut the wire, and move on clean
I wonder if you still think about us
The times we had, or is it just me
I'm just getting by
Living life like it ain't a lie
Every memory, that you meant to me
It's just not the same, and I hate the way
That I'm getting by
Do the memories, still fall like leaves
When you think of me
I'm just getting by
Do they still fall like leaves
Do you think of me
