I'm in love with the thought of you when you were twenty-two A pair of boots and your Converse shoes kicked off by the front door Sipping 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 Something from the nineties on the dashboard dial But oh, memory ain't enough 'Cause I can look but I can't touch A memory can't kiss 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 vibes and it kills the mood Those two years are long gone And I should be moving on But oh, memory will make it hard It's time to realize you don't deserve my heart, oh A memory can't kiss 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 A memory can't tell you how you make me feel In the moonlight glow of a shotgun seat A memory can't pick out a diamond ring And say I do under an [?] 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 Can't love you back You can love a memory But a memory can't love you back
