remember how they always seem to know
we had the forest in our eyes
but the earth was in our clothes
and they thought we'd fall
not at all

so look back on those treasured days
we were young in a world that was so tired
though it's not what we wanted before
even the saints had to crawl from the floor

summer was when the money was gone, you'd sing
all your little songs that meant everything to me
and i'll remember you
and the things that we use to do
and the things we use to say
i'll remember you that way

remember how they tried to hold you down
and we climbed those towers and looked out upon our town
and everything you hoped would last
just always becomes the past
it hurts but...

summer was when the money was gone
you'd sing
all your little songs that meant everything to me
and i'll remember you
and the things that we use to do
and the things we use to say
i'll remember you always

but then how this world sliped thru my fingers
even the sun seems tired
i still care
as they lowered you down
my heart just jaded
in that moment the earth made no sound
but you were there
help me lift my pain into the air

i'll remember you
and the things that we use to do
and that things that we use to say
if it don't hurt you it won't hurt me
if it don't hurt me it won't hurt you
if it don't hurt you it won't hurt me i know
