They Want You To Remember
Park your car in the drive
And stand out on the step
Your mother's in the cul-de-sac
Take a walk for a change
And cut up to the park
The shops and to the hall
If there's anything the same
The gardens know your name
And try to keep a piece of you
Beyond you
They want you to remember
They want you to remember
They want you to remember how you cried
And though it hurts, they'll always want you to remember
Chasing up through the streets
The traffic and the trees
They make the air that we recall
Push the gate on its hinge
And let it swing away
While never going in
We were the only thing
Though only for a while
Those days, they keep a piece of me
Beyond me
They want me to remember
They want me to remember
They want me to remember how we tried
And though it hurts, they'll always want me to remember
They want me to remember
