The Degradation Of Memory
[Verse]
What did I expect from you
Salvation, redemption, validation?
I'm so sorry that I lied
And kept who I really was inside
All those nights wondering
Why you didn't battle the miles between us
I guess you can't make a sinking boat float

[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder how we'd be now that we're older
Maybe this time you'd be sure
I fantasize off of faded rusty memories
No images anymore

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse]
The only way I know it happened
Is because my mind has the certainty it did
Years of repetition, retelling, thinking of Madrid
I wouldn't recognize you in the street if I saw you pass by
And neither would you, we'd just walk on by
It's the strangers we are today
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder how we'd be now that we're older
Maybe this time you'd be sure
I fantasize off of faded rusty memories
No images anymore
Yet I still have dreams in which
The surprise of seeing you shocks me back to reality
I guess that's how it works
The degradation of memory
