Lyrics

Do you remember the podcast About the guy who was dying So his mom and his girlfriend Came to live with him? And his next door neighbor Saw it all through a window They cleaned out his apartment And someone else moved in You said it got you thinking What if you lost me And a couple of years was all the time we got to have And then you started crying I think I did too And we held each other in the back of the cab Do you remember your birthday Out in Carroll Gardens At the bar where they taught you All thе tricks of the trade? Do you remеmber how badly I could get it wrong sometimes And how aptly you could make it okay? Do you remember surprising me with Halloween decorations? We went to the movies and were too scared to hold hands But I wasn't joking the time I promised That I would carry you across the desert sands Then I tried to hold you to that, but you ran Then I tried to hold on to you but I just don't think I can Do you remember Jamaica? Do you remember New Jersey? Do you remember the North Fork, New Orleans, and LA? Do you remember the first time I told you that I loved you? We'd been having a dumb fight that could no longer wait Do you remember the gunshots that we heard in Minnesota? Or the night you kicked your sandals off over the fence I climbed into the churchyard and got them for you Oh, you were so mad at a text your mom had sent I'm just trying to find where all these moments went Do you remember the hurricane or Eighth and Jane Or did you just forget? I guess I'm only asking because somebody has to And based on my bloodline, I fear for my memory So like the Dutchman and dear Margaret I was just wondering if you'd remember for me 'Cause one day I won't know your number or your nickname I'm already struggling just trying to picture your face I guess that's why I have to keep a record So we don't vanish without a trace So we don't vanish without a trace So we don't vanish, so we don't vanish
