They tell me
"You don't remember and that's why your crazy"
But they must see
I was the clever one to never want to be
Trapped by what's all around
By walls not very sound
But I remember
At night I remember

You and me

I can still hear the oxygen tank on the floorboards
I can still hear people slamming doors
Shutting out the darkness
Trying to find us
Oh-oh-oh
I can still hear the Red Sox on the tv screen

I can still hear my Dad saying you wanna sit next to me
I remember
Don't tell me I can't remember
The life I lived with you

To carry with me I have battle scars
But don't you see they make you who you are
Late at night they become visible to me
Telling what you always wanted me to be
And they forget
They forget like rain dries in the streets
But you can bet
You can bet that you'll always have me
To turn to
When you need someone who

Remembers like you do

I can still hear the oxygen tank on the floorboards
I can still hear people slamming doors
Shutting out the darkness
Trying to find us
Oh-oh-oh
I can still hear the Red Sox on the tv screen
I can still hear my Dad saying you wanna sit next to me
I remember
Don't tell me I can't remember
The life I lived with you

(Bridge:)

And they say this life I am living
(Is a gift)
But I'm not giving
Until someone else can remember with me

I can still hear the oxygen tank on the floorboards
I can still hear people slamming doors
Shutting out the darkness
Trying to find us
(pause)
Oh-oh-oh
I can still hear the Red Sox on the tv screen
I can still hear my Dad saying you wanna sit next to me
I remember
Don't tell me I can't remember
The life I lived with you

The life I lived with you (4x)
