Lyrics

I Remember Everything

I wake up in my clothes
With the steel tips still pressed against my toes
Stand up five feet from your bed
Kick the sleeping giant in my head
Oh and that's my cue to hit the sidewalk, slip the neighbors, take the train
Sunrise, cold and stiff and empty-handed, out your door again
And you sleep there on the righteous side
Breathing the ashes of my pride

I try to kill the pain, can't get the dose right
I'm passed out at noon or wired and wound at midnight
Try to beat it down, it won't ever give in
I try to forget
But I remember everything
Again and again and again

We snake down the coast
And I wonder which turn I regret the most
Your strong fingers twisted in my hand
A silent stop to walk the sand
And you're all it takes to break me, standing deep and distant as the blue
Sunset, cold and stiff and empty-handed, riding next to you
And you sit there on the driver's side
All you can offer is the ride

So I try to kill the pain, can't get the dose right
I'm passed out at noon or wired and wound at midnight
Try to beat it down, it won't ever give in
I try to forget
But I remember everything
Again and again and again

You made it to the morning side
I see you step into the light

I just try to kill the pain, can't get the dose right
I'm passed out at noon or wired and wound at midnight
Try to beat it down, it won't ever give in
I try to forget
I try to forget
I try to forget
I try to forget
But I remember everything
Again and again and again
