Memory I Don't Mess With

Red leaves on the river

Footprints in the sand

Cold walk in December

Warming up your hands

Sun dress on the front steps

Sun up by the lake

Blanket down in the backyard

Lying wide awake

That's a memory I don't mess with

The girl I was the best with

The one I was obsessed with

Girl, you just don't get it

I'd fall right back with one slip

Always leaves me helpless

Don't hate me, I can't help it

Gotta leave us where we left it

You're a memory I don't mess with

Moonlight on the back seat

A breeze through the wires

Springsteen on the speakers

Girl, I'm on fire

That's stuff I don't think about

'Cause it still kills me now

I still can't dance around

That memory I don't mess with

The girl I was the best with

The one I was obsessed with

Girl, you just don't get it

I'd fall right back with one slip

Always leaves me helpless

Don't hate me, I can't help it

Gotta leave us where we left it

You're a memory I don't mess with

It's good running into you like this

But, girl, I'm close as I can get

To a memory I don't mess with

The girl I was the best with

The one I was obsessed with

Girl, you just don't get it

I'd fall right back with one slip

Always leaves me helpless

Don't hate me, I can't help it

Gotta leave us where we left it

You're a memory I don't mess with

Red leaves on the river

Footprints in the sand

Cold walk in December

Warming up your hands
