Memory Trace (Extended 2)

Verse 1

Midnight marks the hall

You stood tall against the bricks

Barely spoke at all

Tricks of memory in the air

Faded jacket left behind

Something soft I cannot find

Walking where the water meets the shore

Waiting by that wooden door

Pre-Chorus

Tracing lines along your palm

Keep me safe

Keep me calm

Tell me why you ran away

Chorus

Do you remember me

Face in the crowd

Voice getting loud

Do you remember me

Under the stars

Healing the scars

I am still right here

Holding on to every year

Verse 2

Dusty records on the player

Hollow prayer whispered in the dark

Climbing up the staircase

Every mark tells a different truth

Silver moon across your skin

wondering where you have been

Summer heat was heavy on the porch

Burning like a dying torch

Pre-Chorus

Tracing lines along your palm

Keep me safe

Keep me calm

Tell me why you ran away

Chorus

Do you remember me

Face in the crowd

Voice getting loud

Do you remember me

Under the stars

Healing the scars

I am still right here

Holding on to every year

Bridge

Time moves

Sun sets

No regrets

Just the ghost of what we were

Chorus

Do you remember me

Face in the crowd

Voice getting loud

Do you remember me

Under the stars

Healing the scars

I am still right here

Holding on to every year

Chorus

Do you remember me

Face in the crowd

Voice getting loud

Do you remember me

Under the stars

Healing the scars

I am still right here

Holding on to every year

Verse 3

(Yeah)

Look

You asked me if I mind the way the distance grows

Or if I remember how the river flows

Cold winters in the borough where the wind would blow

Before the jewelry and the sold out shows

I was focused on the climb you were focused on the depth

Counting every single word and every single breath

Life moved at a pace I couldn't manage yet

Chasing paper till the vision and the reality met

Now I'm looking at your picture like a riddle

Caught between the high life and the middle

Stuck inside a cycle till it breaks

Measuring the weight of my mistakes

You were real when the world felt plastic

Stretch the memory till it snaps like elastic

If you saw me in the lane would you flag it down

Or act like I'm a stranger in my own town

Pre-Chorus

Tracing lines along your palm

Keep me safe

Keep me calm

Tell me why you ran away

Chorus

Do you remember me

Face in the crowd

Voice getting loud

Do you remember me

Under the stars

Healing the scars

I am still right here

Holding on to every year

Verse 4

Checking for your name in the mentions

Drowning out the noise and the tensions

Think about the nights by the station

Small talk turned to deep conversation

Now the scenery is changed it's a new view

But nothing feels as sharp as the true you

Had to sacrifice the peace for the trophy

Now everybody acts like they know me

But you knew the version with the hunger

Back when we were broke and we were younger

Shared a couple plates and a vision

Now I'm making every move with precision

But I’d trade a little glory for a moment in the rain

Just to see if you can still recognize the name

Hard to be a man when you’re living as a ghost

Missing all the people that you value the most

Chorus

Do you remember me

Face in the crowd

Voice getting loud

Do you remember me

Under the stars

Healing the scars

I am still right here

Holding on to every year

Outro

Do you see me

Do you know

How the seeds of silence grow

Waiting for the call

Watching shadows on the wall

Do you remember me

Do you

Do you

Do you remember me

I am still right here

Holding on to every year

(Yeah)

(Santan)

(Do you remember)

(Do you remember)

(Yeah)
