Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Mar. 5, 2022]

Last year today seemed a long way away
And ahead of me (the memory)
A new face and street, people who meet you
Instead of me (remember me)
They bring you, they take you
They own you, they make you

Last year today you turn and you say
Here's a dream for me (but it's a memory)
You close your eyes and the moon starts to rise
And you scream for me (do you remember me?)
I calm you, I'm with you
What did they ever give you

Memories in future tense
Memories don't make much sense
Memories in future tense
Memories don't make much sense

Last year today a radio plays
Such a simple song (a simple song)
The music's surreal and you almost could feel
That there's nothing wrong ('cause it's a simple song)
They bought you, they sold you
And all the things they told you

Memories in future tense
Memories don't make much sense
Memories in future tense
Memories don't make much sense

Memories in future tense
Memories don't make much sense
Memories in future tense
Memories don't make much sense

Memories in future tense
Memories don't make much sense
Memories in future tense
Memories don't make much sense
