Love You Back

I'm in love with the thought of you when you were twenty-two

My pair of boots and your Converse shoes kicked off by the front door

Sippin' cheap tequila on the front porch

I'm in love with the history of you and me, how it used to be

The king and queen of this small town, young and wild

Somethin' from the '90s on the dashboard dial

But, oh, a memory ain't enough

'Cause I can look, but I can't touch

A memory can't get you outside of your mama's house

Midnight rain on a Chevy hood

A memory can't hold you in a Sarasota sunrise

Even though you wish it would

All it's gonna do is make you lose sleep at night

Wake up and leave you in the past

You can love a memory, but a memory

Can't love you back

Just when I think I found someone new, it comes out the blue

It kills my vice and it kills the mood

Those two years, they're long gone

And I should be movin' on

But, oh, a memory'll make it hard

It's time to realize you don't deserve my heart

Heart, oh

A memory can't get you outside of your mama's house

Midnight rain on a Chevy hood

A memory can't hold you in a Sarasota sunrise

Even though you wish it would

All it's gonna do is make you lose sleep at night

Wake up and leave you in the past

You can love a memory, but a memory

Can't love you back

Whoa

Oh, no

Whoa

A memory can't tell you how you'll make her feel

In the moonlight glow of a shotgun seat

A memory can't pick out a diamond ring

And say "I do" under an old oak tree

All it's gonna do is make you lose sleep at night

Wake up and leave you in the past

You can love a memory, but a memory

Can't love you back

Whoa

Can't love you back

Whoa

You can love a memory, but a memory

Can't love you back
