Liner Notes

#memory #positive-ish #indie

As this FAWM is growing closer to the end, and as I'm getting closer to the final song in a freaking trilogy, I've been wondering how to "wrap it up", and for my sensibilities it makes the most perfect sense to bring it back to the beginning.

This is a little bit more of a positive track (while still being sad because I love alienating listeners) that is the inverse/Sister Song to a song from Memory Ln. called "Spaces Between", which itself is a song about memories and the fear of losing them. This one is more basking in the fact that you had good memories to lose in the first place.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I am bound
To fragile minds.

Light
Dancing aloft on the dashboard,
Skipping along like a record,
To another life.

Why
Are we destined to
Repeat ourselves?
(Repeat ourselves)

Well-worn
Paths lead back to the choices
That started all the voices,
As far as I can tell.

All of the photographs.

Verse 2:
In the game of love,
I play for keeps,
But only when
It's you and me

Cuz we're so much
Stronger together,
Sharing life like a
Worn-out sweater.

No, I don't think
I'll get better,
But I hope that
I'll get better
This time.

Maybe
I'll get it right.

All of the photographs.
I'll get it right.

Verse 3:
All of the photographs
That I took with you,
And all of the places
That you lead me to,

They were all in the moment.
All in the moment.

All of the things that we put
In that Christmas box,
That five years from now
We will open up,

They were all in the moment.
All in the moment.

No, I don't think I'll remember,
But I hope that I'll remember
You and me,
And all The Faces I've Seen.
