arms around a memory

hot sweats in cold sweaters

i feel a little lost since you've been gone

the blame helps you feel better

until you run across the cloud i'm on

you're reaching for a hand that's in the past

and beaches where the sand has turned to glass

your television life couldn't channel this love

you can't put your arms around a memory

you can't put your arms around a memory

and now i'm wishing you were here

as much as i wish you would disappear

so will you remember to forget me?

you can't put your arms around a memory

can't put your arms around a memory

and will you remember to forget me?

you can't put your arms around a memory

a life boat in dead water

a ship inside a bottle that we broke

and we lost our true colours

we opened every door until we closed

and i could feel you in my air tonight

coming through the waves in satellites

but our city skies will never light up

you can't put your arms around a memory

you can't put your arms around a memory

and now i'm wishing you were here

as much as i wish you would disappear

so will you remember to forget me?

you can't put your arms around a memory

can't put your arms around a memory

and will you remember to forget me?

you can't put your arms around a memory

hot sweats in cold sweaters

i feel a little lost since you've been gone
